Take Action mid-way blog

When I was first presented with this project I immediately thought of the Ywca. It was an organization I had heard about through my next door neighbor and it is something that called to me. There were many hoops to jump through once I had made my decision. First I had to contact the volunteer coordinator and then set up the first meeting. From this meeting I then had to get a DHS clearance and set up a second interview. After this interview I sat back and waited because I was told I would be contacted. Then I found out that they had become to busy to contact volunteers and I had to take the first step and call the volunteer coordinator. After a phone call and many emails I finally got a volunteer time scheduled. I was able to work all four hours on Friday December 6. I worked in the Christmas store. All I know is that I do not want to do laundry again for a while. I took the worst looking room and started working. By the time my four hours were up I had it close to finished. Looking through all of the cloths I just kept thinking how amazing every person who donated. It felt good to know that my organization skills could be used to make someone's holiday better.
