Yesterday, I dropped off some food and hygiene donations to the local Care & Share here in Colorado Springs. As I drove in, my stunned kids spoke exactly what I was thinking: “Are all these people donating to the firefighters and evacuees like we are? That’s SO nice when people are in trouble like this!”
Yep. See for yourself. The drive-in line never stopped, and it was almost a constant trail of cars backed into the road at 2605 Preamble Point in Colorado Springs. Volunteers were numerous and buzzing as they received and sorted donation items. Reminded me of the Chik-Fil-A drive-through: non-stop cars, fast-moving, happy and helpful volunteers.
