Four Mile Community Store

• Volunteer Retail Thrift Store Associate

  • Sep 2010 - Dec 2010

  The 4 Mile Community Store was established to support the families and individuals affected by the Fourmile Canyon Fire. The store was supported through an outpouring of community donations including goods, services and volunteer support. It was amazing to see the human to human connections. One day a women chef who lost all her possiessions in the fire found a random donation of an Italian cookbook just like the treasured one she always had in her own kitchen. In that moment and many others the spirit of being held by the larger community was palitable to everyone. Show less
