Yesterday we helped deliver the boxes of food and bags of toys to the families. What a well run organization. BootStrap has been around for over 30 years and not one paid employee!!! Since this all took place inside an airplane hangar the delivery cars and trucks were lined up by family # and color code, when drivers names were called they brought their vehicles around,drove inside, parked by the matching color-coded sign and were loaded up by the Boy Scouts. Our Ford explorer was packed with bags and boxes for three families and off we went! We delivered to families nearby one another and then came back to the hangar for a second load and three more families. We took a quick break and had some homemade chili and pizza and chatted with other volunteers. At the end we left with packages for two additional families that we will deliver today as they were not home this morning. This experience was a wonderful reminder to be thankful for all our many blessings including the food we eat,the clothing we wear, the homes we live in, the cars we drive, toilet paper, soap and so many other things that are easily taken for granted when you've always had them.
