Clothesline

We had our annual clothing giveaway at church this past weekend. It was absolutely amazing. When you see people who are down on their luck and they come and receive a blessing, it is just the most wonderful thing. We have been collecting clothing for the past 6 weeks and we filled a 40 foot trailer to the brim. We had over 250 volunteers come and unload that trailer and sort all of those bags of clothes. When you see the mountain of clothes and then you see how God moves it, you will never be the same. Some of those volunteers were there on Saturday to help the "shoppers" and to load their bags in cars and find items and just be there. We had 400 people lined up at the door before we opened at 8:00am.

This is the 5th year that our church has done this and Nick and I are always amazed by what we see. This event was the vision of Melanie Mooney (who has become one of my favorite people), she had a passion and a call and we have all helped her to acheive it. I am including the pics that I took, although Melanie's daughter got much better ones. For those of you reading this that were volunteers, I want to say a HUGE "THANK YOU!!!!!!!". We could not have done it without you (and we look forward to seeing you next year!).
