This morning, we went to work for the Boys and Girls Club of Washington County again. Our task today was to clean and organize a giant closet in the gym! We pulled out boxes and boxes of books, craft supplies, and other supplies for the kids to use. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to completely finish the closet, but we were glad to get some much needed work done for Ms. Joan Roe of the Boys and Girls Club.
After taking some purged paper and cardboard boxes to a local recycling center, we headed to the WWISCAA emergency shelters to do some more painting for Mr. Wade. Today we worked on touching up the stairs we painted on Tuesday and painted another section of the food pantry on the site. Rain rolled in soon after we finished the painting, so sadly some of the paint on the stairs washed off. Even so, the stairs looked a lot fresher than when we started on Monday!
This was our last day working at WWISCAA with Mr. Wade. We've loved working with him and everyone at WWISCAA, and appreciated their kindness so much! Before we left, we were sure to get a picture with Mr. Wade.
After finishing up at the shelters, we returned to the Boys and Girls Club to play with the kids again and work a little more on the closet. We got a lot of work done on organizing the items in the closet and had some quality time with the kids for our last time at the site.
For our rainy day, we had grilled cheeses and soup for dinner, quickly followed by a volleyball match with the firefighters we're staying with. After the firefighters won, we presented them with cake of appreciation we made them!
Although today was rainy and we couldn't completely finish some of our projects, we still had a very productive and optimistic day. We were sad to have to say goodbye to some of the people we had been serving with, but their kindness and appreciation of our work made up for any somber feelings we had. We're all looking forward to our final day of service in the great community of Greenville!
