Wonderful Volunteers Sort and Pack 115 Boxes & Made 30 Hygiene Kits

In early December, Phoenix Branch had 22 volunteers, the most ever at one time, sort and box donations. They not only made 30 Hygiene Kits, but also filled 115 boxes with the newly sorted donations. Six of the men put up additional steel racking in the warehouse, providing us with additional storage. Phoenix also had help from Jane Ternus, one of our dedicated volunteers at the Norfolk warehouse in Nebraska. She is blessed to be able go to Phoenix for the winter and volunteers there. Thank you to ALL our volunteers that help us do what we do to serve many in need worldwide.
