Who Knew?
It sounded like a long and tiring day, and it would have been without the great attitudes of these COTA volunteers. Everyone got up very early on a Saturday, drove 80 miles to northern Cincinnati, and (naively) thought they would be spending a few hours going through donated medical supplies from our generous donors, Matthew 25.
In reality, we spent more than a few hours; were faced with 7 shrink-wrapped 8 foot tall pallets of 40 boxes each and had to open each and every box to determine what supplies would best meet the needs of our upcoming COTA team. We finished the day by loading one pickup truck, a van and two cars with the boxes of surgical and medical supplies in this photo.
This picture was taken at the end of the day. Jennifer, Renee, Diana, Rosemary, Mary Ann and Jody know that hard work, when shared with compassionate hearts and good friends, can still leave you with enough energy for shopping!
Who knew.
