This month we went to the Phoenix Dream Center for our
first Second Saturday volunteer event of 2018.
As usual, we gathered at the church at 7:30 a.m. and boarded the three buses
for the 45 minute trip into Phoenix.
The Phoenix Dream Center (https://www.phxdreamcenter.org/ )
provides both outreach and housing programs to people in need: recovery programs, emergency family housing
and housing for homeless, foster care prevention and age out programs and
programs for young women out of sex trafficking.
Our efforts were put into cleaning up and organizing their
thrift shop, cleaning and re-furbishing some of the apartments, landscaping and
clean up and of course, painting. Stuart
and I were on the painting crew and worked on the front and sides of the main
building.
We had plenty of volunteers, so the work was done quickly
and no one was overworked.
We spent about 3 hours at the site and accomplished all our
goals. The staff at the Dream Center
were very appreciative of our help and we all enjoyed spending our Saturday
morning doing something good.
