Bless them!
My 84 year old dad wandered off wearing a winter coat in mid august. He got lost in the woods all day long. Luckily, he came across an inhabited cabin and the people helped him home. Sure wish these people were around when that happened.
That’s why when they come around for donations I always help them out. Imagine if it were your family member. They do a great job!
My hat is off to these volunteers. Good job folks!
