Monday: Beginning of a good week
I go to Open Door once a week to help sort clothes. Once a month, Open Door gives away all the clothes that they receive (a giveaway). We sorted them based on gender and size. We also sort them base on cleanness and for the right season. There’s not enough room to keep winter clothes in the […]
