shoring up the world, one sack at a time
after a rumble of a kickball game on Saturday (during which my team, the poacher vipers, lost by a few points...) then after lunch with the J.O.B. music supervisor (he's pretty amazing!) I took 10 sacks of stuff to my neighbors house for delivery to the Hurricane survivors.
Sacks from one of our actors, sack from one crew member, sacks that Annalise and I gathered up...
My neighbor who as led our 'hoods effort in helping with the relief said the survivors were in dire need of bedding and towels, so Annalise and I took a car load to the sorting center.
I started tearing up when I saw how many cars were streaming in to unload bedding, diapers, infant formula, water, towels, shoes. We were all greeted by weary and good natured volunteers who took our stuff and efficiently sorted it into piles. It was then deposited into a waiting van that took the items to the Frank Erwin center/ palmer auditorium and the Tony Berger center.
Annalise decided to start a fund drive at her high school, and spent part of yesterday making donation cans for the Red Cross.
There is some comfort in doing what you can, there's definite comfort in seeing the generosity of your neighbors and your town. It brings people outside of their houses, their lives and offers us a chance to shore it all up, make it right, make it better.
It's comfort.
