On Friday, June 3rd, a group of volunteers from Huie Law spent the afternoon serving at the Grace Klein Community office. Prior to the scheduled service day, they spent several weeks collecting non-perishable food items, toiletries, and paper products in order to assist the over 200 families that Grace Klein Community provides a food box to every month. The staff was split into two teams and were extremely competitive in filling the large donation boxes. By the time the collection ended, it took a truck load and trailer to haul the two large boxes back to the Grace Klein Community offices.
When the Huie Law staff arrived to serve that afternoon, they split up into smaller teams in order to help in multiple areas at the office. One team unloaded all of the donations from the food drive and organized them into the food storage area at the office. Another team spent time in the Give and Take room helping to fold and sort donations and place them in the appropriate containers, making life easy for families to find what they need when visiting the room. The third team spent most of the afternoon organizing and inventorying furniture and household items that are stored in the basement. All of the volunteers were a joy to work beside and were able to accomplish a significant amount of work during the afternoon.
