I had volunteered to do a laundry run Thursday for one of the local PADS shelters; their regular person couldn’t make it and I got a call the night before. I didn’t have all the details on the pickup point, but I managed. Basically, I picked up bags of dirty laundry at lunch – easy, given where it was – and then dropped it off and picked up clean laundry sets at a nearby hospital after work. It was a long day, with lots of stuff going on at work, but the laundry thing was oddly relaxing.

Since I can’t really commit the time to doing shift work for PADS, this seems like a good way to help them out. At least one other person from Holy Moly will be doing it, possibly two.

I’ve never done volunteer work before – this is one way to back in to it, but it’s a little solitary. At some point, some of us from Holy Moly will sign up to host a meal for the shelter.
