We found out very recently that today would be a paid day off from work! Talk about exciting news for all of us. The HR department also announced 4 volunteer opportunities we could sign up for and attend today in place of working.
I thought about which one sounded the most fun for a few days and finally signed up to help out at the Northwest Children's Outreach center only a mile from my house. It was a great experience, but hard work too!
There were 6 of us, plus the oh-so-sweet director lady. She was so passionate about the organization and told us stories the entire 3 hours we were there which kept us entertained as we sorted, folded and boxed up thousands of articles of children's cute little clothes.
I was pretty tired and sore from bending down into a giant bin, I don't know how many times, but it was worth it! Now I am hoping to go back soon to put together individual totes that the families come to pick up and give to their children. What a great organization run by volunteers only!
Peace :)
