St. Vincent DePaul

On November 8th, I was at St. Vincent's Warehouse from 12:30-5:00pm. The first task I was assigned was to peal price stickers off of dishes in order for them to be placed out on the floor. The dishes we were working with were beautiful and appeared to be brand new. I ended up asking where they were from, and came to find that a store that was going out of business donated them. I was so impressed that they even received donations from corporations. A couple of the regular employees where sorting through clothes near by. I think that her name is Kelly, but she was trying on just about everything that passed by her. By the end of her fashion show, she ended up sporting a classic clip on tie and hunting hat. She was stunning. All of the employees make the tasks humerus and enjoyable. They are full of life. After peeling a tons of stickers, I began to sort jewelry. It was pretty overwhelming at first because you don't know where to start. I just started matching earring and sorting them into boxes. I felt pretty clever because we didn't have plastic bags or containers to place matches in, but i began ripping square pieces of paper and sticking them through it. It worked really well and helped to organize some of the chaos.
