Wow, it's been a crazy couple days. I don't even really know where to start. I've learned a lot about volunteer matching, for one thing. Turns out it's kind of complicated... but we think we've got a system now. Yee-haw! I'm not really sure what's going to happen tomorrow... I'll be at 2-1-1 again answering phones... they'll be crazy busy tomorrow since it's a) a Monday and b) (thanks a little bit to Tracy and I) the 2-1-1 number has been spread a little more this weekend.
I'm also learning about the way different 2-1-1s and Volunteer Action Centers and United Ways etc., all work together in different ways in different areas. It's actually kind of fascinating.
Anyway, a lot of work was done today by a lot of great volunteers. It's always great to get a phone call from someone letting us know that the job is done in a house... that the only thing left to do now is to let it dry out so they can start the rebuilding process. And then it's great to hear that volunteer ask to be put back in the hopper to be sent on another mission. I just can't stress enough how great our volunteers are!
Okay, I'm sure the others are itching to go home for some much deserved rest... I'll catch up tomorrow.
Night!!
