Atlanta Lambert Youth Thrift Store
Atlanta
February 18, 2022 at 12:00:00 AM
On February 19th, 2022, Lambert VT Seva students volunteered at the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store. This thrift store allows the needy to have access to clothes and other products FOR FREE. Many products are kindly donated, and the products in good condition are put out for sale. We are glad to have helped out there; the store was very neat and orderly. It also had a wide variety of good quality products. When volunteering there, we volunteered in small groups for 2 hours each. Everyone was given various tasks to help keep the store in order. Some of the things we did were sweeping the floor, rearranging products, dusting the shelves, tagging clothes, stapling paper forms, helping at the front desk, etc. It was a very unique and fun experience!
