Proof!If you can't tell, that picture was taken from the wrong side of the tracks.
wocka, wocka, wocka
wocka, wocka, wockaSo, ok, I know that you aren't seeing a lot of people in that first picture. You might be thinking, "Boy, must have been a pretty slow event." And, you, Straw Man Reader, would be totally wrong. This event was one of the busiest we've ever been a part of.
Attendance wasn't high, but every single person that came out to buy clothes stopped by the van. All of them. Our contact, the wonderful Laura Myrick, went as far as to call people in the community that needed help and urged them to pay us a visit. And they came out.
Unfortunately, there appear to be some serious holes in the safety net in Dayton. We had a handful of clients with no income who still hadn't signed up for food assistance. They didn't really know how or were resigned to siphoning off of their savings accounts.
Erin and I wouldn't have any of that. We helped the good residents of Dayton fill out 25 different applications. Twenty-five! Between the two of us! You're welcome, Dayton grocers (food assistance), Dayton politicians (voter registration), and Dayton employers (senior employment program)!
And Erin was especially good to the local economy. It was unexpectedly brisk and Erin was wearing summer clothes. Since we were at a rummage sale, she upgraded to jeans.
stimulus!
