Cycling with Sally

Our day in Dawson Creek was a mixed bag, which is a true reflection of the work John and his wife Rose does on a day-to-day basis.  It's a small centre and they pretty much wear several different hats on any given day.  We were astounded by their compassion for the community and the many hours they obviously put in.  We helped John and two other volunteers working that day pick up baked goods from supermarkets, work in the food store re-organising and packaging, did some dishes and cleaned up the main hall and also escorted people being picked up and dropped off for food parcels.  It's fascinating how each Salvation Army works so differently to the next, however it is clearly vital as each one caters to the individual needs of each community.  A big thanks to John to being super helpful with giving us a spare tire too (as ours didn't turn up in the post as planned).  Please note, we tried super hard to get the photo of John and Rose the right way up but didn't want to cooperate - Belinda not dealing with this well!
