Leaving The Salvation Army

I had been volunteering with The Salvation Army since the beginning of August up until the end of January.  Most of what I did was working in the mailing room.  I'd stuff envelopes, write signatures, add labels, do sorting, etc.  

I also got to help with Christmas stuff (Angel Tree and counting out and sorting stockings) while I was there.  But the BEST part of everything was getting to work a little on the computer doing data entry on MS Excel.   

I had always wanted to try that...  And I finally got the chance through volunteering....  All in all, I think it was a great experience to work there.  I got to gain some experience myself, I now have something to slap down on my resume, AND I helped them out all in the process.

However, recently I have decided to leave The Salvation Army because I have been offered another job working at Lavender Fields Herb Farm...  And this time, I will be getting paid for my efforts.  I figure that will also help with paying for everything involving the wedding.

It was kinda sad to be leaving them, as I've really grown to care about Ms. Bridgette (my supervisor) and Maddie (she works alongside Ms. Bridgette).  Everyone there has always been so kind to me and appreciative of my efforts.  
I hope God will continue to bless The Salvation Army, as it continues in "Doing The Most Good" for all those around them.      


A very small glimpse of what I'd been working on recently for The Salvation Army.
My last day!!!!
Farewell, my friends at The Salvation Army...  May you be blessed as you continue in your work for others....
