Sooooo, it's been a long time coming, but this week Nathan gathered some very kind ward members and friends together and we all assembled over 500 hygiene kits for the Christian Caring Center in Pemberton. Nathan has been working on collecting and soliciting donations for about 8 months so that he could accomplish this worthy goal. Members of the ward donated unused hotel toiletries, etc. and some local dentists, hotels, and other businesses donated as well. Nate had to purchase a few needed items, but for the most part, was successful in encouraging others to donate. He still has a few items to finish up for his Eagle Scout award, but the project is, for the most part, completed. Yay!!!

Setting up the assembling stations
Ready to go
Everyone was so helpful - Very appreciated
Some of our faithful ward members
Even the missionaries got involved
We served juice and doughnuts to all who came to help. Even the cups were donated by a local hotel.
These busy folks helped finish the 500 kits in less than a 1/2 hour
The reward
Our helpers
And a crazy shot, of course
Looking good
Finished kits in boxes in the car
And a parting shot of our fearless leader....Great Job, Nate!!
Hah! Nate is always sleeping in half the pictures. Way to go Nate, congrats! Can't believe you got all of that stuff done so quickly! People will do a lot for a donut ;)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! Great job Nate! Such great pictures documenting the whole thing. And the last shot is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIt was actually really fun to do and I'm so glad we've gotten the boxes out of my room just in time for me to leave ;)
