| "I
started coming every Monday
and sometimes an extra day since
the warehouse went into operation...We
sometimes get to speak to some
of the people we help, get to
hold their babies, and talk
to their children. The knowledge
that there is such great need
all through our world is overwhelming,
but to be doing something, however
small, to alleviate some of
the difficulties that exist
is so rewarding and much better
than sitting home saying, 'It's
too bad life is so difficult
for so many people.'"
~ Ruth Sava, Volunteer |
"Helping
here makes you more aware
of the many needs so many
people have..." |
| "It's
a true joy to come here [to
Sharing Connections]. I had
my first 'connection' on the
very first day I volunteered
- before I even got in the door.
When I shoved my car keys into
my pocket, I realized I was
still carrying a tape measure
I had been using outside in
the yard at home. Just then
I heard two women at the door
trying to figure out if they
had enough room in ther van
for some large items they were
picking up. They were frantically
looking for something to measure
with, and, rather dumfoudned,
I pulled out my tape measure.
Of course, I've seen much more
significant connections being
made since then. Helping here
makes you more aware of the
many needs so many people have,
but it also makes you realize
how many caring people are eager
to give."
