The Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless - Provides temporary housing, emergency winter shelter, children's program, community education, food, clothes, etc.
The attic was full of donated clothes but they didn’t have time to sort them. The task looked overwhelming when we first went up there but by the end of the week all the clothes were sorted by gender and by size. We then repacked them into boxes and labeled them so they could be distributed easily.
We sorted donations of school supplies. They will make these available to the children after school starts.
Picnic Lunch on the grounds.
We made 250 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and 250 turkey and cheese sandwiches. These were then bagged and ready to hand out to people who needed them.
We helped manage a clothing give away. We were to watch that people didn’t take too much because there was a long line to get in. Each person was allowed one pair of shoes and each child was allowed one toy.
We cut frames for crafts, organized the children’s books and games, and cleaned the kitchen.
We painted the deck and swing set at one of their “transition homes.”
We played freeze tag, volleyball, and dodge ball with the children.
