KIDS CORNER - THANK YOU BOARD
We want to share some of the thank-you notes that children have written to the Volunteer League.
We no longer fit children at our location, as counselors drop off donations at the children's schools. However, the counselors report that children beam with smiles when receiving our packages.

Dear Volunteer League,
I just finished my first year at college and was searching for a place I could volunteer. I was looking online and stumbled upon the site. I saw it was near my old high school, and I was curious to see where exactly it was located. When I saw the picture of the building, it was heartwarming to me because this was the building that every time we pass by my mom tells me "when your grandma could not afford to get us new clothes for school this is were we got our clothes from." My parents have sacrificed a lot to make sure we always had what we need, but they also taught use to appreciate what we had because not everyone was as fortunate. It would be an amazing opportunity to be able to volunteer at the place that helped out my mom.
Thank you!
