Our May 2016 giveaway was eventful and busy.
In addition to having many helpful volunteers, we served 183 individuals in line. This was an increase over last month’s participation rate of 120.
We also helped a gentleman who collapsed in line. Several of our volunteers stepped up and made him comfortable while another one of our volunteers called an ambulance. As far as we can tell, the man was alert (but dazed) when the ambulance took him to the hospital.
A big thank you to all of our volunteers that passed out basic living supplies. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. We appreciate you all!
While we had enough supplies to handle our increased demand, we will need some help to restock our reserves. Hopefully you’ll see more on that soon, but if you want to donate something now, feel free to check our Amazon Wish List for some ideas.
Next giveaway will be June 19, 2016!
Make that 184! I took a bag by the hospital to the gentleman that had a seizure in line. He was doing well once he came to, and said to tell everyone thank you!
That’s great! I was worried about him.
