I have an idea that I am going to try locally, and I hope others
will try it to.
Take What You Need Rummage "Sales"
I am a prof at Mississippi State University, which is in northeast
Mississippi. Although the hurricane hit us directly, it was very
much weakened, and we sustained only minor damage and temporary
outages.
Our college president has invited FEMA to create a longer term
shelter in our basketball coliseum. We have some folks already
staying in the dorms.
I want to organize a largescale "Take What You Need" rummage sale,
where you don't need to pay for anything unless you feel you can
afford to (and the money would be donated). So many of us have much
more stuff than we need---maybe our new refugees will be able to
use the stuff.
What do you think? I think spreading the idea of SHARING would be
really important right now.
