Today at Child and Family Servies in Manchester there was a Stork Store. Large items donated throughout the month are made available to social workers at the end of their montly meeting. It was held in the lobby of an empty credit union. I was greatful to have a parking space open up right by the door. It took me 8 trips to get all of the items inside and part way through the process the building manager offered to lend a hand. There was so many items it took me over an hour to arrange everything.
It took just 30 minutes for everything to be claimed. The majority of it was taken to be given to moms who have an immediate need for the item. The items that were not claimed will stay in the Manchester office and used when the need arises. I love seeing a social worker's eyes light up when they see a needed item. They know their clients and are able to think of their needs as they "shop". It is an awesome sight and I am so thankful they allow The Stork Store to happen each month.
The world is filled with very special people. I am blessed to have them in my life.
