Refrigerator bumper cars & cart races
Today, Beth, Emma, Mitch, Roberta, and I volunteered at Habitat NOLA's warehouse. We sorted cabinets, refrigerators, and stoves.
In spirit of volunteering made Fun, we devised techniques of sliding fridges and stoves on dust, making impact with each other a la bumper cars. I noticed that some addresses on appliances are to be delivered to homes that I built frames for back in May and July. It's really cool to make that connection.
In addition, we raced carts filled with kitchen appliances. Beth's manually-operated cart easily won out over my poorly-driven electric cart.
For lunch, we ate Crabby Jack's, where I ordered a King size Shrimp & Oyster Po-boy.
Before returning to Camp Hope, we stopped by Musician's Village on Bartholomew street. A revelation hit us - Appliances we sorted for delivery to Bart street, are going to home at Musician's Village.
Woohoo! It's good feeling to make that connection, and seeing how our volunteer work today will directly impact many Habitat homes, including ones we visited. We all agreed that it was productive day :)
