It's the story of my life. Everything always takes longer than I think it will. And when it comes to preparing to pack 21,500 or more boxes...well, it takes a long time.
The day started with a true miracle. My husband got two friends to help him with moving the delivery of boxes and cartons this morning. While they were doing that, another truck arrived with the delivery of frisbees we thought would be delivered on Tuesday. What a blessing to get both deliveries at the same time--when volunteers were there to help.
Tonight was the first night of packing party set-up. A group of six team members, six adult volunteers, and one youth did an amazing job of making a dent in the tasks.
In the picture above you can see some of them hard at work putting labels on the boxes. They finished 2000 out of the 22,000 tonight. A good start!
Others worked hard to open boxes of coloring books, soap, and pencils. The more we can get prepared in advance the better.
Stay tuned to hear of our progress night by night.
We're on the way.
