......................College Connection Mission Trip

·         Cleveland Weekend Mission:  Saturday morning the group worked in a warehouse of a food pantry sorting Depends adult diapers and liners. Local retailers donate large cardboard bins full of un-sellable packages, whether they are slightly ripped or all the way open, and the food pantry distributes them with the food delivered to elderly people in the community. The group's job was to refill the packages and tape them shut then place them in an orderly fashion on the shelves of the warehouse. We then went to the recycling center/thrift store owned by the same organization as the food pantry, Operation Refuge, Inc. There the group sorted through a bin of paper to separate newsprint from all other paper and organized the merchandise on the shelves of the thrift store.  Fun was also had by all.
