I did a tour of MUST Ministries tonight, so I can start volunteering. Wow. They do so much for the homeless. I got a chance to be blessed before the tour even started. :) I had to bring the girls with me and James was meeting us there. Well of course after a month with no rain, it has poured here yesterday and part of today. This afternoon was pretty dry. Until we were getting in the car. James got stuck in traffic (and hail) and was going to be late. A staff member and volunteer offered to babysit the kids until he got there, so I could go on the tour! It felt huge to me, but was probably no big deal for them. See, we never know how much someone may appreciate something small we do for them!
We toured the kitchen, living areas, classrooms and more. MUST can accommodate 65 people (at this facility) at a time and they help them find jobs. The thing they don't provide is transportation and most people don't have cars. The bus runs right in front, so that is how most of them get to jobs and job interviews. They said getting bus passes donated is like the residents getting gold. I usually take my running car for granted, but not tonight. I am thinking of helping them with data entry one evening a week, if they have an opening in that area. We shall see!
