One of our Compassion Teams, the Free Baby (and kids) Goods eXchange or "BGX" Team held another profound time for redistribution last Saturday at Frankford & Norris. Each month at one of our sites we begin with a base of Circle Thrift-donated items for youngsters. Team members set the space with snacks and organize according to age and size. Well over 100 people came through this time to bring stuff, take stuff, and make some friends.
Different kinds of people come together on these occasions and this time we had regular Circle Thrift customers, recent political refugees, people getting out of homelessness, Spanish-only speakers, people who showed up just to drive people home, expecting moms in crisis, neighbors, people looking for cute things for their infants, moms, dads, caregivers, and dozens of folks referred by our allied agencies. To witness or be part of these events is joyful and rewarding. We are grateful for all the donations - if you want to keep making these possible, you can make a donation to either Circle Thrift location.
