Partage collection is over…. – Serve The City Geneva

Partage collection is over! and WOW what a day.. STC had 3 stores and all 3 bettered their last years high!..

Our staffing was low but enthusiasm was high. Yes we had people who did not show but.. We had many who work double shifts, we had help from local schools, we had assistance from store management, and as mentioned, your service is responsible to help provide meals for over 900 of the needy people of Geneva every day for the next 6 months!! The totals from the other 75 stores are not fully reported yet but my hope is they also had such dedicated workers!! There were so many stories that I witnessed and I know there were stories that you saw and never reported. It was a very special day!

One of the stars (of many) was a 4 year old young lady , who worked more than a double shift in Meyrin and I’m ashamed to say sorted more goods than I was able to do!! Her parents stood idly by, of course mom, who was with a newborn, handing out Partage bags at a remote entrance, and dad who was trying keep up with bags coming to the 4 year old. Many thanks to all for a job WELL done, we had many heroes and heroines on the day and trust you all had a good time serving the community!

Our next project will be sorting the 158 tons of collected items from 8 am – 12 noon on weekdays.

Our current bookings are Friday, the 23rd of December and Thursdays, the 29th of December and the 5th & 12th of January. If you know anyone who may be available for this fine extension of public service, do share it with them. An invitation to our volunteers will follow shortly. You can register HERE already!

Many, many thanks.. Serve the City Geneva..
