Sunday morning I attended Mountain Crest Baptist Church in Leadville, Colorado with the principal of Westpark Elementary school. We unloaded the suburban (not a small task) and shared stories over lunch.
All told, we delivered more than 200 ski jackets and sweatshirts (much of which was brand new), boxes of puzzles and books, and other miscellaneous clothes. We also delivered 2 used bikes with helmets, and a brand new bike and new helmet. The new bike and helmet were donated by Criterion Bike Shop in Colorado Springs, CO! (We are BIG fans of that bike store!!!)
Upon my return I was approached by several members of the church letting me know they have items they want to donate to the kids at Westpark Elementary School. We are also planning a work weekend in which we will make as many home repairs as possible for the families in Leadville. (More to come on that!)
The next set of goals for the Leadville community is the work weekend and another trip with a suburban full of clothes, books, and soccer balls. We will also be collecting school supplies closer to the end of the summer.
