Day 3

It was slow today. Not a lot of donations or clients, which makes for a lot of chatting with the other volunteers. I was talking to the woman who had been working at the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center for 25 years! As I looked around, I noticed that most of the volunteers I saw everyday, like it was their job, although I don’t think anybody is payed. The head of the Neighborhood Center is a woman named Carol. She is there every single day and I didn’t want to ask how long she had been working there. I found out that there are two floors to the PNC; the second one is full of toys and such for holidays. So many people donate to the PNC; that entire floor was crammed with toys, games and clothes. I spoke to my mom and she agreed that our family should donate to them as well. Everything that people bring in we find a way to use. Except for expired and rotten food, we throw that away.
