MEAC

I don't know if today really counts all that much. I did decide that I want to donate clothing to one of the ministry partners where I served during my trip. It's called  Madisonville Education and Assistance Center and helps those who are in need of basic necessities like clothing, food, etc.  In case you're interested in helping them out too, they do have a list of needed items or you can simply make a donation on their website: http://meaconline.org/ . They told us their mission is put themselves out of business. That's a pretty awesome goal if you ask me. When I was there, I cleaned bathrooms, unloaded boxes from a delivery and shelved a few of them, and sorted the clothing items on the shelves by size and color. I also got the opportunity to speak directly with a few of the people and help them look for items. Oh, and I got to decorate a few treat bags that we were already preparing for their Fall Festival. I'm all about the crafty-ness, so this was a good job for me.

 But anyway, that is the thing I did today. Made the decision to fill a box and send it to them. I didn't do it yet, though. Hopefully in this case it's the thought that counts for now. And I guess I did spread the word about them to all of you. So maybe that counts for something, too.


(P.S. Any updated clothing donations would probably be much appreciated. I literally saw the exact pair of stonewashed jeans with zippers up the back of the legs that I rocked in the early 80s along with many other oldies. Wait, let me see if I can get a pic.... aha! Check out these bad boys!)
