Boxes of t-shirts (92 / 365)
Boxes and boxes of t-shirts have been piling up in our kitchen over the past week. My mother, who works for the University of Michigan, sent an email to all of the campus departments asking if they had extra t-shirts from various campus events, thinking that whatever she collected she could take to Peru with her.
Little did she know, this one simple email would spread like wildfire around campus – and beyond.
After two days of bringing home boxes upon boxes from work, it looked like that we were going to have way too many shirts to take in just suitcases and many of the sizes would not be appropriate for kids. While it might make for a funny photo, I can’t imagine an 8 year old enjoying wearing a 2XL shirt.
So, after taking an inventory of the shirts and sorting out the sizes and designs appropriate for children/teens, she decided to “share the wealth” with a few other ministries she is involved with. This weekend, CREW will be taking quite a few large boxes of shirts with them to Cass Park for a giant “Feed the Hungry”. In addition, they will be shared with the ChristNet weekly rotating shelter that comes to First Presbyterian every year during the first week in November.
