Writer's Block: Philanthropy

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Since I'm not working, I'm doing a lot of volunteering I wouldn't have time for otherwise.
I've completely reorganized a church library, including weeding.
I've done several shopping trips for the Community Food Bank, and I'm the person who does the online ordering from the parent org in Atlanta.
I'm doing Relay for Life on June 5.
I help me mom with her medical appointments, including doing the dressing changes from her recent surgeries.
I help my daughter's Girl Scout troop when I can. I've even cross-pollinated the volunteering there, arranging for the GS troop to go to the Food Bank to help straighten shelves after a food drive.
Right now, I'm supervising the kids in getting together things they don't play with to be donated to ayouth group garage sale.

I don't have money, but I do have time.

Good for you. So many people with time to spare fritter it away, I think it's awesome you're helping out where you can, and setting such a great example!

Please tell me how a church library needed weeding? **picturing a sacred garden with texts written on the leaves...**

I'm not sure, but I could see that meaning pulling out books no longer relevant to the collection. She could have also left out a section about working in the church garden.

Sounds like you're keeping busy and keeping your skills in shape. Smart cookie. But then, you always have been.
