October 2020 Service with GHF
Total Oct Hours: 1
With the release of a new fundraising raffle, reaching almost HALF the fundraising goal, and collecting thousands of bottles of glass during each drop off, it's been a very exciting month with GHF!
Today is the day that Zeta is supposed to make landfall as a Category 2 Hurricane. Yesterday, GHF handed out donation-based sandbags for those in the city with the need. Glass drop off today is closed, and will likely reopen on Saturday!
I volunteered last Tuesday, the day before drop off at Joilet St. We prepared the warehouse for the next day's drop offs!
2. These are milk crates stocked and ready to be transported to the Louisa St. warehouse for processing! Labels are fine to leave on, they get sifted out after the bottles are run through the crushing machine, and then hand-sifted into sand.
3. This picture doesn't do the shear size of this bag justice. You could probably fit 6-8 normal-sized humans standing up in this bag. Cardboard and paper is torn into small pieces, and allowed to decompose and become soil! In the month of November, I will volunteer at the Louisa St. location, where the composting endeavor takes place, so I can share more pictures/principles of the soil-making process!
