Partage Saturday is history, and we had all kinds of stories, We had some sickness, we had some oversleeping, some had to leave early, we had some stores not ready for us and some could not be kinder. Some people after paying for their groceries , found out what we were doing and went back in and bought us a big bag of groceries.. Another who took another solution and gave us 100chf and we took the money and bought a collection of products. One customer gave us a bag of meat & vegetables while her husband was waiting at the check out stand (which we replaced). One store would not take back 2 bags of perishable goods, and told us to donate it to Caritas. Some times we had 1 red shirt doing everything and once we had 10 STC reds all busy.. Next week we should get the final tallies but all in all it was a fantastic day. I from what I hear ALL had a very good time and what we did does MAKE A DIFFERENCE ! and we thank you!
For those who brought friends or family to help please also give them our thanks and regards.
The next project will be to sort the goods over at the Partage Warehouse in Carouge, which takes several weeks. Its a 8-12 am job weekdays only and may not work for all but yesterday you did your part. We will send out information on sorting in next few day.. Also we hope to see you out and about on Nelson Mandela’s International Day of Service with STC or any other service project.
