Our modern rendition of Jubilee happened this past week. People in the community donate stuff. Piles of clothing, food, furniture, and toys. Individuals who have a need for anything can come and choose what they want to take home. In addition to the stuff, there are also bounce houses for the kids, dentists for a free check-up and booths advertising for various services. My dear friend Beth has been involved with Jubilee since its inception. I have heard about the celebration for years but was finally able to take part!
Here is a bit of the crowds. There were lines and lines of people! It was incredible!
Beth's child, Cora was so happy to see her Papa (grandpa) and get a balloon! We had a lot of fun together.
Finally, here is my Mom and her friend Marcy. They have a free ESL class for women who want to improve their English. They had a both to advertise the class.
I am so glad to be in Minnesota and to be able to be part of our community's Jubilee!
