It has been a busy week.

 

I am now recoginized as a Volunteer 2 with the NH Department of Corrections.  I have had my orientation, know the does and don't, cans and can't and I am now official. Once a month I take The Stork Project on the road to Shea Farm which is a transitional housing unit for women.  These women are so willing to help. They are knitting and crochetting blankets and this month they will sort, size and hang all of the Christmas outfits. They also assemble mini bundles that are used by social workers in area hospitals.

 

The Whipper Snappers spent Thursday in "The Nest" volunteering. Two of the men primed the wooden signs we are making that say "SHHHHHH the baby is sleeping". They love to paint and did a great job! One of the ladies sat in the rocker and snapped all of the onesies. She had a good giggle reading some of the sayings. The other ladies sorted, matched and assembled all of the items needed for a mini bundle. They also made up sets of socks and hats.

 

On Monday the ladies at Shea Farm will assemble those bundles and they will be delivered and another week begins......

 

It is so cool to find ways to involve the community in this project.  There is always room for more love in a bundle.
