I was late getting this posted last night. Instead of posting late when less people would see it I decided to just wait and have it post Wed. morning.
I decided to post pictures from the NGA Ingathering from last year because this week is NGA Ingathering week. There is a day of sorting new clothing, bedding and some toiletries to give to local Chester County, PA. and then a luncheon the next day where we give the items to local charities. Most of the items are purchased on sale at local stores, some things are new items made by the ladies of NGA.

We put most of the clothing in bags under the tables, but leave some out for display for Thursday.
Then we all eat lunch.
The next day the charities that are supported by NGA of Concordville come to a luncheon. After a welcome by Anne, the Concordville branch president, we eat. After lunch each charity is given a chance to update us with what has been going on in the past year. Then we help them load their cars.

Seated at the table on the right hand side are my husband, Court, and Nathan.
We sang at the luncheon last year.
Rachel has a couple of items for NGA this year. I would like to do more next year and have something of my own to take and give to the charities besides my time. I like for my kids to have this experience giving to those less fortunate than us. It also counts for volunteer hours that we have them do for High School. Watch later this week or early next week for pictures from this year's Ingathering.
Now it is your turn.
Here are the Rules for participating:
The purpose of Blast From The Past is to link up a post about something from the past. You can reach back all the way to your childhood and bravely post pictures of you in your wild clothes and hair styles or post something from last year and tell us about it. I'm not picky. Hey, even yesterday was the past... LOL My posts will mostly be about events that happened prior to blogging, as a way to share those things with the world.

This is a good post Wiffy. There are probably many such little known groups out there helping in anyway they can and whose treasures are laid up in heaven. I enjoyed nga. It gives our children an opportunity to serve for the sake of others. I wish everyone could see the benefit of such sacrifice.
