LDS Boy's Eagle Scout Project Outfit's Homeless Shelter
VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON -- When LDS Church member Mark Brockbank found
a new homeless shelter that needed furniture to get it started, he
found his Eagle project. Brockbank stood up in Church on Sunday,
January 13th and asked his ward for donations, only to be overwhelmed
by the response, "We got a lot of stuff on Sunday," Brockbank said,
including refrigerators, furniture, food, clothes and toys. Starting
at 7 am on Wednesday, January 16th, Brockbank and 15 friends, most
LDS Church members, collected the donations in a large moving truck
and brought them to the shelter.
