Our Spring Basket Project netted 79 Baskets!!!We had 9 volunteers participate in our May trip. While there we worked at the volunteer center in Kiln, MS (www.campcoastaloutpost.org ) dismantling a hardware store next to the camp and salvaging materials to be re-used in reconstruction, 
finishing off the construction of a "pole barn" used to house donated goods that were previously covered only by tarps, helping the camp with "kitchen duty" in preparing meals to be served to other volunteers and gutting a home in Pearlington, Ms. In addition to our volunteer work, we also delivered 79 Spring Baskets filled with hand held vacuums, tool kits, gift cards, toys, pamper products, cookbooks, utensils, etc. to the staff and families of Charles B. Murphy Elementary school in Pearlington. The recipients of our baskets were very grateful, and it was truly a blessing to see their faces as they were picking up their goodies. I want to extend A HUGE THANK YOU for all that participated and donated items to make this project the success that it was. |
