Hallelujah!
Josh finished up his Eagle Scout project
in the nick of time.
He collected hygiene items for the Road Home
Homeless Shelter. His goal was 500 items--
due to the generous donations of our AMAZING
ward and neighborhood he received over 2200
items. Along with almost $300 in cash to
buy more items for donation.
It brought tears to my eyes to see the piles
of things that he received.
He then took these down to the Road Home along
with us (his family) and several Young Men leaders
and a few of his friends. We spent 4 hours
serving in the warehouse and helping them with
whatever they needed help with.
In total he spent 92 hours on the project and
benefited something close to his heart and our
community.
The Road Home relies SOLELY on donations to run
and they told us that (I think) around 80 to 90%
of the things they get are through Eagle Projects.
It's amazing that this shelter runs on almost
THAT alone in the SLC valley.
Yesterday he had his board of review and on his
18th birthday finished up all things needed
for his Eagle.
Yay Josh!
