Again, I am playing "catch up" with my blog and am talking today about the event that occured the day after my birthday this year. Our Church's Annual Clothing Giveaway. During the week several members of our congregation come and sort the clothing and other items that are generously donated shortly before the Clothing Giveaway is to occur. Then on the Saturday morning there are alot of people on hand to get these items out to tables designated for each clothing type (women's, men's, babies, etc.) This year we had somewhere between 700 and 800 people who came to look through clothing and take what they or other people they knew needed. By noontime, the auditorium was once again empty of clothing and we began to tidy the tables outside and chat a bit with some people who were still looking for items.
As usual, I enjoyed myself that day because of the people I got to talk to, the weather, and disspelling the disbelief that most people I talked to had about how generous others can be.
