An Awesome Local "Bright Mind and Helping Hand and Heart"

This weekend my family and I volunteered at Basic Needs Ministry Food Pantry, PUBLIC library and thrift store in Garner, NC. This place is amazing and is a stellar example of what Bright Minds, Helping Hands and Hearts want to be, parnter with and help encourage more organizations and individuals to support.

With a little thought alot of effort and heart this group is changing lives in their community, although their service area is limited, it is identified as a high need area and efforts like this have a ripple effect and their benefit can reach far outside the service area with just a little help, encouragement and support.

My husband and I sat inside the computer area and looked up and labeled books for the library that has been organized with mostly DONATED!!! books. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all these books from every genre, Classical Literature, foreign language literature, German, French, Spanish, LOTS of Romance novels, mystery, SCI-FI they have many STAR TREK novels, the Left Behind series. Videos!!! hundreds of them.

My 14 year old son and our 17 year old Exchange student from Thailand were among the OLDEST "youth" volunteers. They carried the boxes of books from storage to us, and from our labeling area to the library shelves. They helped shelve thrift store items, videos, and anything they were asked. These kids who were volunteering were awesome, hardworking for minimum of 4 hour shifts.

If the "heart benefits" were not enough for helping out, this group is part of the "HELPING HANDS NETWORK", "GIVE A DAY GET A DAY AT DISNEY" campaign, where in exchange for a day of service to a registered charity EACH volunteer receives a certificate for a free ticket to a Disney Theme park, approx. at $59-$99.00 value (depending on the park selected, Disney Land or Disney World parks).

They take donations and need volunteers to further their service to the Johnston and Wake County areas. It is a quick hour drive from Franklin county off the beltline (440 to I40, off Hwy 42). See the website for exact address and directions and more details about the work they do. http://www.4042needs.org

Please pray for this group and the coordinator, Ronald Still cw_rls@bellsouth.net


Join them and helpout anyway you can, share their information and get the word out about such a great work being done in our local area that can make a huge difference. We are definitely going back to help out, and have adopted this as "our charitable group to support, encourage and promote". All of donations that use to go to Good Will are now going to them.

If you have clothes, books, videos to be donated call me or drop them by the house and put them in the box on the front porch.
