Chapter 1331 1314. New Job (55)

The Salvation Army is a purely non-profit organization, relying on volunteers and donations, including store concierges and goods inside. Although these people are the backbone members of the Salvation Army, they are still volunteers and they have no salary.

From this point of view, Wang Bo's praise is not an exaggeration. These people are really proletarian revolutionary fighters. They joined the Salvation Army purely to help those in need of rescue.

After hearing Wang Bo's words, Claire was overjoyed, and quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Mayor Wang, what you have done is also worthy of our admiration, and we will be colleagues from now on."

Wang Bo smiled and shook hands with him, and then calculated in his mind that he has many identities now, such as Stubborn Cow Club, Quinoa Association, etc., and now there is one more member of the Salvation Army.

When he joins the Salvation Army, he doesn't have much to donate. He only needs to lease a front house to them for free, and let them use it as a second-hand store.

There are no second-hand stores in Sunset Town, but there are many tourists here. More tourists means more second-hand items. Many things are bought by tourists temporarily. When they leave, they will only take the most important things with them. Just throw it away.

With The Salvation Army Secondhand Store, at least that waste can be put to good use.

Any Salvation Army second-hand store is ready to accept public donations, no matter new or old, but it must be kept clean. If it is a functional product, such as toys, electrical appliances, tools, computers, etc., you also need to find as many original accessories as possible , to facilitate the use of others.

Wang Bo personally chose a house that just expired in the center of the town. He refused the owner to renew the lease and handed over the house to the Salvation Army.

The name of the Salvation Army second-hand supplies store is SAFS, which is the abbreviation of SalvationArmyFamilyStores. The signboard is very obvious, with the words TheSalvationArmy written in white on the red shield logo.

The staff in the store also have a uniform dress, with a shield-shaped logo embroidered on the chest. And these staff are all volunteers, and the clothes still need to be purchased with their own money.

This shop does not need to be renovated. The Salvation Army's operating creed is to give every penny to the people who need it most. The money wasted on renovation can help at least one difficult family in their opinion.

However, the shop itself has been renovated, so it is not shabby to use directly.

There is also a Salvation Army second-hand store in the nearby town of Louis, and there are shelves in their warehouses. Wang Bo asked Motak to drive these shelves over in a Ford pickup truck, and then began to tidy up the store.

Just like the Salvation Army is willing to accept any useful second-hand items but they must be clean and usable, their stores can be unfurnished, but they must be kept hygienic, and they must always pay attention to the neatness and order of the items.

The shelves arrived, and the Salvation Army needed to recruit volunteers locally. As the mayor of the town, Wang Bo wanted to take the lead in this regard. It happened that he didn't have much work on hand, so he went to help.

After Eva learned about it, she brought her little girl to help. She wanted to cultivate her younger sister's correct outlook on life and values, so she also actively joined the Salvation Army.

In addition, Hani, Uncle Bing, Bo Wen and Charlie joined in, so they were the first batch of volunteers to come to work.

Wang Bo led his staff to organize the containers and shelves in an orderly manner, and then several second-hand Salvation Army shops around sent some goods, mainly audio-visual products, old clothes, second-hand sunglasses and second-hand MP3s.

These things are attractive to tourists and can be sold better.

The backbone of the Salvation Army stayed in Sunset Town for a few days and took them to familiarize themselves with the work process. The most important thing was to classify the goods.

Because classification involves warehousing issues, and commodity warehousing involves final financial revenue.

The donations accepted by the Salvation Army second-hand store mainly fall into eight categories: old clothes, old furniture, household items, books, toys, audio-visual products, fashion goods, and handicrafts.

As soon as the store opened, someone came to the door. Wang Bo was very happy to receive it. A couple brought two large cardboard boxes and said, "We have some useless second-hand items here, and we hope to give them to those in need. people."

Lao Wang thanked him again and again, but after opening the cardboard box, he was stunned: there were some clothes and newspapers in the box, and half of the box was filled with newspapers, which weighed thirty or forty catties.

If you receive old newspapers in China, it is okay to say that this thing can be sold as waste paper, but in New Zealand, old newspapers cannot be sold, they can only be disposed of as garbage.

There are also those second-hand clothes. These clothes are dirty, and some are still stained with oil. Wang Bo picked up one and asked, "Did you bring the dishcloth too?"

The couple knew that he was the mayor, so they spoke more politely: "Oh, sorry mayor, we forgot to clean it, or can you clean it yourself? Actually, the style and quality of these clothes are very good."

Over the past few days, Wang Bo followed the backbone of the Salvation Army to prepare for the establishment of the store and figured out some rules of the organization. The most important point is that the Salvation Army collects second-hand items for charity work, not a garbage disposal station.

Therefore, he didn't give them any face, and said directly: "Hey, you two, no matter what old items are, as long as they are useful, the Salvation Army is willing to accept them. But please pay attention to the two of you, the Salvation Army is not for throwing garbage place, especially big trash, ok?"

Big garbage is bulk garbage, such as discarded refrigerators, washing machines, wooden furniture, etc. These things are not allowed to be put in the trash can, but they have to wait until a specific day, and the government specially arranges cleaning vehicles to clean up these garbage.

Generally speaking, this kind of day is only once or twice a year, so every household in New Zealand has a garage, and one of its uses is to store this kind of garbage.

After hearing his words, the couple showed embarrassing expressions, and the man said submissively: "Okay, mayor, we just immigrated to New Zealand, so we don't know the rules here."

Wang Bo pushed the two boxes back to Xiang Xiang, saying: "If something is really unusable or completely damaged or polluted, please don't waste the time of our staff."

Haney also came over and said dissatisfied: "Please respect the volunteers of the Salvation Army, OK? They are a group of good people with firm beliefs, enthusiasm and love, not helpers who dispose of garbage for you, OK?"

"OK! OK!" The two nodded, and then left resentfully.

Seeing that Old Wang’s face was ugly, Krell came over to comfort him and said, “Hey, Wang, don’t be depressed. We will inevitably encounter various difficulties in our work, but the Salvation Army can overcome them. Come on, let me teach you how to choose items for return. kind."
