People at the Community Services branch of Gospel Rescue Mission were lined up early , waiting for
the Thursday Free market to open. First they could choose a bag of bread and and some bottled drink, then they got to spend 5 minutes in roped off area where other " wares "were set out. There were toys, household items and even furniture and building supplies. They had to make their choices of 5 items quickly. "Cinco cosas, Senoras!" called the volunteer worker. She did such a good job, moving the senoras along, and making sure no one sneaked in without being in line first. The shovels were snapped up quickly, even a snow shovel, and handbags and stuffed toys were popular as well. Everything was free--this is their outreach to the community. The people in line patiently waited their turn; these 2 ladies were reading out of little pocket New Testaments as they waited. In another corner, lively music was playing, and someone was preaching. Other volunteers , not from our organization, sorted in the great shed. Terry was organizing a mobile van filled with clothing hung on hangers. The Gospel mission gets so much clothing they give lots away to other organizations, first taking the nicer items to the women's shelter where we are all staying.
