Our project was to help sort the clothes that were donated and hang them on the hangers in the correct locations. ]]> 2021-12-10 16:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940662563 holmandr https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940663822 Other students in our group worked on a pricing project, in which they unloaded resources from the trucks and placed pricing stickers on them for the sale floor. ]]> 2021-12-10 16:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940663822 holmandr https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940665899 This is important because St. Vincent dePaul gets hundreds of donations a week, and they have been overwhelmed with being able to get these on the floor for people to have the opportunity to buy.]]> 2021-12-10 16:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940665899 holmandr https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940667896 By helping them hang the clothes and place price tags, we were able to expedite the process of preparing the goods, thus making more resources available for customers.]]> 2021-12-10 16:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940667896 holmandr https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940670844 After completing this project, I see the value in the small things that keep an organization running. For example, previously I wouldn't have thought that a thrift store would need volunteers, but now I see the importance of all the steps that go into getting resources available for others. ]]> 2021-12-10 16:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940670844 holmandr https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940675213 This translates really well into service in general, with all of the small parts that come together to create the big picture. In the future, I would like to spend more time volunteering at on-campus organizations to see what I can do as a student for my campus. ]]> 2021-12-10 16:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/holmandr/9b13mzwlvd394959/wish/1940675213
