Week Nine!! This week has been a lot better than our previous weeks. To start off, Sarah went to pick up the sock drive box from North Davie and we ended up getting four full boxes of socks which is very surprising because the drive was very last minute! Our group is trying to figure out a time and place to meet to go through all of the socks and organized them into designated bags. We also need to make sure they are all in matching pairs. Makenna has reached out to her church and got the approval to do the drive at her church. It is planned to run through December twelfth even though week 12 is over next Wednesday, December eighth. We have decided that we will donate our collected items to the storehouse for Jesus. We are hoping that they will take everything.
Our biggest disadvantage of this is that we started this drive so late and we're worried about running out of time to get it done and to be able to compile a final presentation. We think that one of the biggest lessons we learned throughout this process was to not procrastinate. We would find ourselves saying that it was easy to organize and we could put it off till next week, which was most definitely not true. Getting in touch with outside resources and trying to organize something like a winter warmth drive, or a food drive is actually a lot harder than it seems. The hardest part was especially the suspense of waiting for them to respond. Obviously they have their own personal lives and are busy, so getting back to us was probably not very high on their list of priorities. Our group did not take this into account in the beginning of this project. This is definitely something we will have to take into consideration for the next project!!
