Today was a crazy day in the life of a St.Vincent de Paul Volunteer! We had around 8home visits to do as well as prepare for the Charity Motorcycle Ride this weekend. We started at 9:45 this morning and worked till 3. Then on my own time I called local businesses and asked if they wanted to donate any gift certificates or coupons towards the cause. I spent an hour or so running around and picking them up. Pheeeeewwww and it was a hot day outside.
There were so many different types of people we helped today. You know, I can't imagine what would happen in our area if people didn't have service organizations to reach out to. We have so many people who call in and are on their last legs and support. Where else can they turn to get help?? It's times like these that you realize how important you are to society. Your volunteering DOES HELP.
