Emma and I are blessed to have the time together during the day to do some things that otherwise if she was in typical “school,” we wouldn't be able to do. Last week, we got the opportunity to work behind the scenes at our Angel Tree collection and distribution center. If you haven't heard of Angel Tree, you can read more about this awesome organization here.
We had the best time! During our 3 hour time slot of serving, our job was to collect the presents as they were dropped off, check them in by scanning their Angel Tree tag in the computer system, and then match them by number on the tables provided.
Here is Emma hard at work scanning and checking in gifts.
Notice the presents on the floor under all the tables as well.
Staff said at the time in which we served, only 20% of the gifts had been returned. I so wish I could have seen that room after all the collecting was finished! I can picture the presents piled to the ceiling.
Here are the two smiling “Angels” of the day 🙂
Do you have a special Christmas tradition of serving others this season? If so, I'd love to hear about what you and your family do.
Love serving others through the Angel Tree every year!
I’m sure that was a special experience. So glad Emma got to share that time with you!
