Since the first of September Jake has worked at Overflow every Wednesday and Jayden all but a couple. I signed them up to help when they could and I didnt realize how much they would enjoy it. I hoped they would help at least once a month, but both kids look forward to it each week. Occasionally I would bring the kids earlier so they could help for 2 hours instead of just 1. Jake has a work station where he helps Doug check electronics. He checks out each donated item to see if it works, replaces batteries and light bulbs. I think Jake gets a sense of accomplishment out of his work. He arrives to a big pile of things to check and sees his progress as he works. Of course the most fun for him is bringing home the "stuff" that gets thrown out, such as cassette players,drill, iphone parts, or vintage heavy VHS players. He is a funny kid with all his interests. Jayden likes to sort through and hang up clothes. She gets to see all kinds of clothes and once in awhile there is a great find. I help on rare occasion when Luke doesn't have taekwondo and I enjoy setting items out on the shelves to sell. I am so glad the kids can serve in this way and that their serving heart will bless others.
