In the middle of January, two teams from Good Shepherd, totaling 20 people, brought lots of energy to a variety of tasks at Household Goods. Over two afternoons they created family-size dish sets, sorted bins of donated linens, cleaned rugs and assembled dining tables. Our teams were amazed at the logistics and organization required to have enough goods in ready-to-go condition to completely furnish apartments for 104 households a week! This is something we will definitely do again! But, in the meantime, the next time you clean out your home or the home of a loved one, please bring your furnishings to Household Goods in Acton to help a family. They especially need lamps and twin sheet sets today. And, if you are looking for a regular volunteer commitment, they will put you to good work!

Two teams of shepherds recently volunteered their time and talents at Household Goods.
