I’ve been volunteering some with our local pride organization doing mutual aid
and today when I showed up we had so many donations it took it half the hallway
I’m so excited about this and also a bit terrified because we now have a looming mountain of unsorted clothes
there was also a family in today picking up stuff, sent them home with two meal kits at least one bag of clothes and some other food (and maybe hygiene products? Didn’t see)
it’s just so nice, especially lately sometimes things feel so hopeless, but there’s people out there who want to help, who bring in bags upon bags of clothes and food and everything even though they will never get a thank you in return
theres folks who are so eager to help, and all they need is to be told how
I know sometimes it feels like everything is hopeless
Lots of people are kind and caring and lovely just like you and all people really need is a path forward
