Volunteers have come from all over to participate in the PA Warehouse including California, Oregon, Idaho, Michigan, South Carolina, Arizona, Utah and many other states. The volunteer who has traveled the farthest, however, has to be Alex Volkov from St. Petersburg, Russia. Alex has worked with our teams in Moscow and St. Petersburg but having him at the PA Warehouse has been a real treat. He placed them near the alter on Sunday morning so anyone who wanted to take part in Bearlift but couldn't get to the store could purchase one. The bears sold out so quickly that Char and Harry had to make a trip into Plymouth, MA to buy out the WalMart bears there.
Many volunteers return year after year.
Janelle Hutt has come to the warehouse every year since 1992 to help make Gospel Bracelets. One very important part of the Gospel bracelet assembly process is the area of Quality Control. Each necklace and bracelet must pass the scrutiny of our QC experts. Warm thermal underwear was matched for size and type and packed in boxes for shipping. The thermal underwear and socks will be a huge blessing to the kids and adults who receive them.
