The City Mission Clothing Drive
Thanks to John Stringer and Angela Lumb who joined me at The City Mission for this year’s Clothing Drive. Thanks, too, to Geoff Haworth and Jim Hudson who both volunteered but were not able to make it due to illness.
It was a very successful day with many people dropping off goods. There was so much to sort but we had it all done until another van load arrived just on closing time. This lot all went inside, still in bags and boxes, ready to sort by the staff on Monday.
The shop is not usually open on a Saturday so there were some surprised shoppers who just happened to see it was open and came to look. Some items which were donated that day had already been sold by the time we left.
The City Mission staff were very grateful for our help and hoped we’d be back next year.
