Waking up at 2AM? Only for a Good Cause.

A group of E&A’ers made a commitment to wake up early to help support our community this last Wednesday. It was a feat, just getting out of bed but it was worth it! We heading out to the Habitat for Humanity Restore in San Carlos, where we moved furniture, cleaned & priced donations, and put in a solid 5 hour shift. The Restore is kind of like a Goodwill, except all profits go into helping to build homes. About 3 homes a year are built just by the profits that come from the Restore! We put on a apron, and got to work! From 5AM-10AM we worked… Lot’s of coffee from McDonald’s and good friends made the morning fun and enjoyable. What was even cooler was that CBS did a story about Singles Awareness Week & us volunteering in the community! We all got the chance to be on TV! Roberta Gonzales did the interview and was so nice! It was wonderful meeting her and the film crew from CBS. Who would have thought you could have that much fun on a Wednesday at the crack of dawn!
