(EstateNewsWire.com, February 22, 2013 ) Tampa, FL -- There are many who simply do not have enough storage space, and that is doubly true for low-income children who do not have even one dresser or drawer to call their own.
Empty Tomb, a Champaign Christian service organization, is set out to change that latter fact. The organization is looking to build hundreds of clothing cupboards for children who need them.
The job does, however, require volunteers, and lots of them.
Empty Tomb's goal is to provide 400 cupboards in one morning, and the organization is calling upon 1,300 volunteers throughout the area and from Christian churches.
As of the last month, only 100 people had found their way to registration, according to Shannon Cook, who works as the Empty Tomb coordinator.
The organization points out that no carpentry experience is necessary to help, and the cupboards will be built from kids. The organization built cupboards for the children last year, but not at the scale they wish to do this year.
"We built 100 last March," she said. "We were hoping to build more, but we didn't have enough participants."
The session will be held on March 2 and will span from 8 a.m. To Noon, with the location yet to be announced. Willing volunteers are asked to contact their church in order to obtain information. Money donations are also accepted for the purchasing of the kits for building. Empty Tomb will conduct a sign-up for volunteers.
There are other jobs that also require help, including hospitality, prayer, check-in, set-up, clean-up, and delivery services. There is no specifically expert skills that are needed in any one area. However, Cook did state they hope to see 200 people who have signed up provide some form of small drills to serve the table leaders for the assembling process.
We want one person at each table that will handle the drill," she said.
For the children without this simple storage space, receiving a cupboard helps them have a more organized home life. It also gives them a sense of community care, and something to call their own; in a small way providing a child with an opportunity to take control of the order in his or her own life.
