On October 15th a group of volunteers went to a home of a recently passed elderly lady to begin cleaning out the home. Our focus on Wednesday was to remove all food items from the home and donate them to Friends of Forgotten Children. FOFC is a non-profit organization located in Concord, NH that is here to assist children, families and seniors experiencing hardships by helping to improve their quality of life and ensure greater stability and success. This is achieved through providing food assistance, self-help training opportunities, clothing and holiday gift wishes.
After 6 hours we had taken out two full truckloads of food. Unfortunately we also had to throw away 20 garbage bags of food that was either opened, spoiled or re-wrapped. Our next volunteer day will be going in and cleaning out the home and continuing to make donations of furniture, books and supplies to local non-profit organizations. Unfortunately she had no family, children or siblings to take care of her home and belongings so volunteers are giving their time to assist and provide closure for her.
