The Rack - Sarnia

Giving Bench drop off THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. Keep an eye out 🙂

So funny story….
Today .sarnia did a drop off of about 50/60 clothing items at The Giving Bench. Initially, we were going to pack everything up at 4, but decided to leave everything so that people could pick at it throughout the week! Tonight, I was driving home around 9pm and thought “I wonder if more has been taken yet?” So I decided to swing by…..the bench was empty….
I went into a bit of panic 😅 Where was everything? Our donations? The books someone else donated? Did the wind blow stuff away (lol)? Did a local business maybe move everything inside not realizing it was okay to stay out there? Did someone play a cruel joke? …..so I called around, and as I was waiting to hear about how everything went wrong, I learned that everything went exactly RIGHT.
A local business (who ended up leaving a pizza too!) attested to many visits to The Giving Bench today! Neighbours of ours who utilized the resource confirmed that so many people in need benefitted from YOUR DONATIONS.
No signs of a cruel joke here, friends. Just evidence of a community well served 🥲 Thank you Corinne Schieman for starting The Giving Bench and making this possible!
Love you, Sarnia ❤️
