Today Gretchen Seth and Julie Slomski (along with Laura Schaaf of the Barber Center) volunteered to sort and pack donations for Erie for Ukraine. Gretchen provided a first-hand account of the experience, along with the photos below.
“Once again, the support of ordinary people has been incredible! Someone dropped off four huge pallets of hand sanitizer wipes. One couple drove a packed Uhaul and SUV from Bradford, and they plan to do it again in two weeks.
We sorted and packed dozens of cartons of personal care items, medical supplies, food, and clothing. We probably built at least eight pallets, all at least 6’ high.
There was a steady stream of people dropping off items all afternoon.
As an added bonus, a Ukrainian lady brought eight loaves of paska fresh from the oven, which she served with jam and glasses of milk!
They are looking for volunteers for the next two Saturdays, so I hope we can enlist some Logistics Plus employees to join us.”
