Loading Day
With the help of many generous people we were able to collect and ship over
33,000 books by loading day. Each book was catalogued by Dewey Decimal number
and boxed. Complementing these books were donations of clothing, medical
supplies, an electrical generator, some furniture and over 300 pairs of
eyeglasses. Volunteers from High Street Christian Church, Truly Reaching You
Ministries, Knights of Columbus, area high schools and local community members
worked together on Saturday morning September 22nd to fill a forty foot
container full of the donated items.
