Today I was blessed with the opportunity to volunteer at Irving Cares with several co-workers. I…read moredidn't know what to expect, and I can tell you it exceeded my expectations. Irving Cares was founded in 1957 to provide relief for Irving residents down on their luck. It is not considered a place to give constant handouts, but temporary help to get back on their feet. Irving Cares provides all of the basics a person will need to provide for the family. It is located in the Human Services building in South Irving. It serves THOUSANDS of families that are in need. The area I volunteered today was the "grocery" department. Kyle, an employee there, is in charge of volunteers and gave us a brief tour through the facility and history of the services. We then got busy with organizing canned food that had been donated. In the storage area, there are aisles of various foods, donated by Irving residents and grocery stores. It was so touching to see how much others care. Something I really liked was that families can come in for donations of food and toiletries a few times per year. This place knows how to motivate them...it is not a permanent hand-out, but a means to get through the rough times. A family fills out the necessary forms, and the volunteers get busy "shopping" with their carts, bagging up the groceries that are allotted to each individual in the family. Irving Cares also provides assistance for occasional rent and other expenses, employment placements, income tax preps, and language classes. In other words, it gives people their pride back that is lost during the low times of life. For any one interested in helping, the pantry is always in need of food. Something they are really desperate for right now is toiletries, especially toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, and soap. No one wants, or deserves, to be dirty, especially children. www.irvingcares.org

Yesterday, I was blessed with the opportunity to volunteer at The Main Place. Prior to learning…read moreabout their services through my employer, I had never heard about them. Now, I can share their story to my fellow Yelpers! To begin, The Main Place is a non-profit organization that provides clothing to homeless teens in the area. Their unique motto is "A retail store without a cash register." Let's face it, there are many, many people who do not have a home, a place to call their own. Families live in their vehicles, kids "couch-hop" from one friend's home to another. These kids have no options and are stuck to make the best of their situations. Since there are other organizations that provide assistance, this organization opened to help clothe these teens. The Main Place originally started as a means to provide attire for proms for these kids. If you really think about it, it is such a loving idea. Most of these homeless kids who still attend school wear the same clothes daily, so of course, they would not have nice clothes to attend school dances that we all take for granted. Soon, the organization realized daily clothes are needed, as well. As mentioned prior, The Main Place is non-profit and is SOLELY run by 100% volunteers. NO employees. How it works: school counselors refer these kids to TMP, the kids are given vouchers, and it works by appointments only. The store is divided by little "stores"- a boys and girls dress clothes area, a girls prom wear, casual clothes for boys and girls, and items for infants. What I think is a great idea is that they have those areas that provide nice, dressy clothes that these kids can wear for job interviews. They, too, need to dress to impress. The director of TMP is a gal named Jennifer. Wow, I was so impressed with her. Her excitement was infectious! It was obvious just how much she loves this organization and helping those less fortunate. A couple of families arrived while we were there, and the volunteers got busy helping them, like a personal shopper! They put together entire wardrobes, right down to shoes, jewelry, and hats. It was wonderful to witness the joy on the teens' faces! If you have it in your heart (and closet), I ask that you please help this great, little "store." What they need: new and gently used clothes, shoes, and accessories. And, of course, money to pay for utilities. For those who work in the business world, they really need dressy clothes so these teens can look nice for interviews. Also, they really need new undergarments (would you wear used undies?), socks and shoes--especially ladies shoes that are small, like sizes 5-6. I thank any of you who have read this and I apologize for the lengthiness, there is just so much info to share! And remember, pay it forward!

I bought kitchenware (knives, never been used waffle maker), a lamp, games, and a gorgeous high-end coffee table. There's a couple of tables that have deep discounts. I found a pair of red leather pumps in my hard find size 5 for two dollars! So with the 30% off senior discount, my shoes were $1.40! Here's the story: American Airlines changed out their uniforms, so they donated all the shoes to the store. The workers, especially Norman the storyteller are involved and energetic. He knows customers by name and gives them suggestions on what is new stock. If you sign up for the email list, you will stay updated on the latest sales and promotions. Well, I haven't received an email yet, but Norman recognizes me and knows my preferences. They even assist you when you buy large items. You can pull to the back of the building and they will help you load it into your vehicle. Whenever you are in the area, check the store out. Why buy full price when you can score a deal at Graceful Buys? Whenever I am in town, I will definitely come back.

Not sure what happens with them, hopefully something good. But the other day I noticed another box. I think it is new. This box is a "flag retirement box", and it being here is good to know. Just the other day I "rescued" a discarded flag from a trash pile (rather disrespectful), and was pondering the proper way to "retire" (new term for me) the flag properly. Now I know.
