11 People for Clothes, 1 DV Victim

I arrived from my meeting at Rush Strong School to find both our volunteer and Gwen (our part time employee) with their hands full.

Today was a slow day in the clothing closet. "Only" 11 people came to get clothing. They all needed groceries too. One of these was a woman who was a previous victim of domestic violence. Even though it happened years ago she still seemed glad for the opportunity to talk about the nightmares that still haunt her. We told her that's what we are here for. Unfortunately, we were out of some of the ladies supplies she needed. Maybe we'll have them next time?

I still have to get ready for our Mardi Gras team meeting tonight. There's a grant proposal on my desk and we have to review our domestic violence training materials. The Compassion Coalition meeting is at 11:30 and there's no way I'll make it. Also, I have to copy the new Angel Food menus for Saturday and awareness brochures.

Please excuse me as I get back to it.
