We are constantly inspired and thankful for our volunteers’ hard work, but they worked so hard and for so long to help us move—with smiles on their faces the entire time. We often mention that our volunteers create a true community, and that spirit shined through as they scrubbed, pressure-washed *everything*, packed, moved, solved problems, and shared lots of laughs. 

Thank you to Maura, who had the incredible idea to pressure-wash the tables and speed racks, and her husband Matt, who delivered one to us – with more thanks to Mary Q and Maud, who put it to great use and stole the show while proving moving can be fun. Janet, Maura, and Maud also tackled the *big* job of packing up the pantry, and Janet kept everyone fueled with a generous pizza delivery.

Thank you to Mark and Ethan, who drove so many carloads between locations, and Neil, who staged items to be driven over and helped pack cars with Chris. Thank you, Dave, for helping drive, assembling new pantry shelves, and figuring out how to quickly fill the mobile cooler’s tires! Thank you, Karen, Chris and Christiane for cleaning and packing up our small appliances, including the instant pots as well as oven cleaning, and so much more! Thank you, Mary Ellis, for single-handedly packing the shelves and gym stage. And we cannot forget the weekend crew, Pete, Phil, Kolbe, Stacy, Heather, Helen, Chris, Shawn, Mary, Dolores, Karen, Jeannie, Marisa, Jack, Emma, Mark, Stefanie, and Martha took some time to clean the new space, get everything ready, and even plant donated plants in our front garden. And, of course, thank you to our staff for leading these incredible efforts over the last few weeks.
