A huge thank you to anyone and everyone who came to help when the trailer was being loaded. Whether you came one evening or all three, it was a big help. Thanks to all the people, the pickups, the trailers, the box truck and those who brought things to the trailer. The 57’ trailer was loaded in just three evenings. The trailer arrived in Norton, VA, in the Appalachian Mountains, this past Monday, May 5th, thanks to the generosity of Hampton Roads Moving & Storage.
The Norton Ministry
For those who may not know, the Norton Ministry is a ministry of this parish that manages the collection of donated household items – pots ‘n pans, dishes, sheets, clothes, shoes, furniture, etc. These donations are then sent, by the generosity of several local trucking firms, to Norton, VA, a small town located in the southwest corner of VA. It is located in Wise County, the poorest county in the state.
The collection of donations goes on all year. Help is always needed to pick up the donations, put them into a storage unit, then move them all into a 57’ tractor trailer twice a year. Young, old or in-between; male or female, it doesn’t matter. As long as you can pick up things and move them from point A to point B, you’re needed. As long as you can laugh and have fun, you’re needed. If you have the use of a pickup truck or trailer that’s a plus but not a necessity. If you would like to be part of the team or have items to donate you can call Kathy at 757 376-7160.
