Operation Clearout

On Saturday 15 September 2018 the City Mission are again organising Operation Clearout and they have asked if we could help.
 
They would like a couple of volunteers in the morning and again in the afternoon in their Buchan Street shop to help unload the vans that come in with clothing and bedding.
 
Our Rotary Associates have offered to help but we felt it would be good if some Rotary members could also attend to help.  Perhaps if we go in three two-hour shifts: 10-12, 12-2 and 2-3.30. On the basis of last year there is no need to be there after that as the need falls off.
Lyn Holmes who is organising this has also asked if we could have a look in our wardrobes and cupboards as see if we have anything we can contribute.  They are looking for clothes, bedding, furniture, curtains and household goods, which can help those in need.
 
They also asked if any of the members had a small truck they were prepared to use to help gathering the items.
 
Can you please let Deryn or myself know if you are able to help or if you have anything to contribute.
