A crash course in changing the world.
People gathered today for the launch of the community storehouse Ekklesia (Together in Greek). The premise: bringing excess to the storehouse in order for others to gain what they need. One man, who was able to find a coat before the first cold front, said "I never knew I didn't really need all these shoes - and I'm so glad I am able to help someone who may need a pair, just like someone helped me stay warm."
Ekklesia is nonprofit - community members pay nothing to store goods or to find and take something from the collection. What's also interesting: there is no a set schedule on employees. Workers are volunteers who offer hours during their week to run the store. Donations are accepted and money is discouraged.
