Germantown HELP had its first "pickup event" yesterday at Trinity UMC and it went great! Thanks to our new volunteers, Abigail Sawyer, Gabriella Levy and Jennifer & Elizabeth Paul, the bags were packed, hauled to the pickup area and distributed efficiently. Packing the perishable items together easily kept everything cold for two hours, since a lot of it is frozen. The big paper bags left over from last year's Holiday Giving Project, however, are somewhat prone to ripping; we will have to get some large plastic bags.
Yesterday, we also hauled 15 bags of nonperishable food to Emergency Services in Germantown, to distribute directly to their clients; we hope they don't have too many problems with those bags, too. Thanks to Abby Majane for helping and the Upcounty Center for use of the carts, phew.
