As some of you may have heard, a tornado hit Joplin, MO very hard this past Sunday. As of Monday, we at the Doggie Bag have set up totes just outside our door so that people could drop off animal supplies for Joplin's Humane Society. On Monday, we set aside some of the clothes that had been donated to us to go to Joplin as well. We may or may not send more at some point.
Today, I started off by tagging clothes in the middle room so that they'd be ready for the manager (who I saw today for a few minutes at best) to price whenever she got the chance. Unfortunately, I had also to get rid of some clothes that had stains, tears, snags, etc. After I finished doing that, I did some work in the back room.
A friend of the manager's (who helped us out at least once before) had stopped by for a few minutes. When she was in the back room, she asked if the "clothing fairy" had thrown up in there. (That's how much clothing we have right now. If we could donate a couple of bags or boxes worth of clothing to the people in Joplin and still have more than enough available to sell.)
That's what this week has been like so far. Who knows what Friday will bring?
