Many donors provide clothes that had to be sorted and folded by Circle K members from Northern Kentucky University.

One room needed to be emptied with items either going to storage or completely removed. Nathan Gallagher and Craig Lyons from Northern Kentucky University volunteered for the job.

Boxes of food had to be removed from the basement and taken to the first floor to stock the food pantry. Melissa Walden, Circle K Lt. Gov. West Division, gives thumbs up after a job well done. She and K-T Governor Elect Mark Garman, removed boxes of food from the basement and then took these boxes to the food pantry.

This mission van was filled with boxes for cards by Circle K members.

Another major task was removing boxes of cards from the third floor and taking them to a van for later distribution. Noel McKay , Transylvania, (left) carries boxes from the third floor while Bryan Dunn, president of the University of Tennessee Knoxville Circle K Club, stacks them in the van.

At the conclusion of the work project Ron, the chaplain at the Chattanooga Rescue Mission, thanked the Circle K members for their work and told them about the significance of the work being done at the mission.

Following the service project James Hobbs, Kentucky-Tennessee Circle K Governor, posed with Ellen Stallcup, Vice President of Circle K International and Counselor to KY-TN District. Ellen, brought James a plush armadillo on wheels from her home state of Texas. James promptly named the armadillo Mr. Bigglesworth. Why? No one knows. Nevertheless, Mr. Bigglesworth accompanied James at all of the K-T Convention events and you will see additional photos of his armadillo sidekick.
