Update: Clothing drive

The clothing drive for the Downtown Womens Center exceeded all of our expectations. During the two days of the official drive, bags, and more bags, and boxes of clothes poured in. We transferred the smaller bags into large black trash bags so they would be easier to handle. When the truck arrived to take all the bags to the DWC, it was a small pickup. The driver loaded the cargo area and the passenger seat full. Then more were piled on top. Still there were lots of black bags left. We began to fear for his safety driving with poor sight-lines and an unstable load. Eventually he piled on all the bags and tied the load down securely and cleared enough space to see the right side mirror. He left with a smile on his face. Our faces had big smiles plus extra hints of weariness.
