I love, love working at the thrift shop. It might sound kind of silly, but it gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride when I arrange shelves to look as attractive as can be. I work alongside other volunteers and have made friends with several of them meeting outside of work for lunches, dinners, and various events. I arrived on Camano knowing nobody and now I have a lot of friends.
