Cycling with Sally

After a warm and excited reception by the hard working staff at the Family Services Center, we got to work sorting and stocking the shelves with bulk food items. They have a very organized and efficient system of stocking items and this ensures people will receive the best quality food available. From here we jumped on our bikes and headed down the road to the Salvation Army Thrift Store, or should I say MEGA store. This place was huge, with 4 truck unloading bays, a generous store front and many busy bodies sorting, pricing and restocking shelves and racks. This was our first time working behind the scenes at the Salvation Army Thrift Store and it was impressive to say the least. Unfortunately not all donated items can be re-sold, but we were ever so pleased to learn that some items are being given to African countries and others recycled. We had a great time meeting and working with all the great staff we met in Eugene, OR.
