Ashley's Service Project

For school this year, Ashley has been studying the life of Mother Teresa. She has been working on a project all year centered around Mother Teresa and her life filled with service. As part of the project, she was required to organize and complete a 10 hour service project. She knew she wanted to do something like Mother Teresa did - helping the poor, sick, and needy. She would have done a food drive, but the state of Utah did a food drive with in a week of her needing to do her project, so she decided to do a clothing drive instead. She asked for donations from our neighbors and then we spent the day collecting, organizing and then dropping the clothes off at a local homeless shelter. Here are some of the pictures from the day.

Most of the clothing collected. We went out again after a lunch break and brought back another 10-15 bags this size.

All of the clothes loaded into the truck.

Happy to be done with a long day of service and to have made a difference in the lives of others.
