Happy Little Mayor - Chapter 1314
The Salvation Army is a purely non-profit organization. It all depends on volunteers and donations, including the storehouse and goods inside. Although these people are the backbone members of the Salvation Army, they still belong to the volunteers. They have no salary.
In this regard, Wang Bo’s praise is not exaggerated. These people are really proletarian revolutionary fighters. They joined the Salvation Army simply to help those in need of rescue.
After listening to Wang Bo’s words, Kreer was overjoyed, and quickly reached out and said, “Thank you, Mayor Wang, what you did is worthy of our admiration, and we will be colleagues in the future.”
Wang Bo shook hands with him with a smile, and then calculated in his heart. He now has a lot of identities, such as the Yak Club, Quinoa Association, etc., and now has a member of the Salvation Army.
He joined the Salvation Army. He didn’t have much to contribute. He only needed to lease them a janitor for free and let them use it as a second-hand store.
There are no second-hand shops in Sunset Town, but there are a lot of tourists here, and more tourists means more second-hand items. Many things are bought temporarily by tourists. When they leave, they will only take away the most important things. Just throw it away.
With the Salvation Army second-hand store, at least this waste can be used.
Any Salvation Army second-hand store is ready to accept goods donated by the public, no matter new or old, but it must be kept clean. If it is a functional product, such as toy appliances, tools, computers, etc., you 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 rejected the owner’s renewal of the lease and gave the house to the Salvation Army.
The name of the Salvation Army second-hand supply store is safs, which is the abbreviation of salvationarmyfa and lystores. The signboard is very obvious. The red shield logo has the white thesalvationarmy on it.
The staff in the store also have uniform dresses, with shield-shaped logos embroidered on their chests. These workers are volunteers, and clothing needs to be bought at their own expense.
This shop does not need to be renovated. The operating principle of the Salvation Army is to give every penny to the people who need it most. The money wasted for 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 it directly.
The nearby town of Louis also has the Salvation Army second-hand store. They have shelves in the warehouse. Wang Bo asked Motak to drive the Ford pickup to bring these shelves over, and then began to clean up the store.
Just as the Salvation Army is willing to accept any useful second-hand items but must be clean and usable, their stores can be undecorated, but they must be kept hygienic, and they must always pay attention to the neatness and orderliness of the items.
When the shelves arrived, the Salvation Army needed to recruit volunteers locally. As the mayor, Wang Bo had to take the lead in this regard. Just because he didn’t have much work on hand, he went to help.
When Eva learned that, she also brought a little loli to help. She wanted to cultivate her sister’s correct outlook on life and values, so she also actively joined the Salvation Army.
In addition, Hani, Uncle Bing, Bowen, and Charlie joined in, so they are the earliest volunteers to come to work.
Wang Bo took his men to organize the containers and shelves in an orderly manner, and then several salvation army second-hand shops around sent some goods, mainly audio-visual products, old clothes, used sunglasses and used mp3 and other things.
These things have a certain temptation to tourists and can be sold better.
The backbone of the Salvation Army stayed in Sunset Town for a few days, taking them to familiarize themselves with the process of the job. One of the most important things was to sort the goods.
Because classification involves warehousing issues, and merchandise warehousing involves final fiscal revenue.
The donations accepted by the Salvation Army second-hand shop are mainly divided into eight categories: old clothing, old furniture, household goods, books, toys, audiovisual products, fashion goods, and crafts.
The store just opened and someone came in. 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 who need them. People. “
Pharaoh thanked him again and again, but after unpacking the carton box, he pushed aggressively: the box was filled with some clothes and newspapers, among which the newspaper was packed in half a box, which weighed 30 to 40 kilograms.
If you receive an old newspaper in the country, it is okay to say that this thing can sell waste paper, but in New Zealand, old newspapers cannot be used for sale. They can only be disposed of as garbage.
And those second-hand clothes, which are all dirty and some are oily. Wang Bo picked up one and asked, “Did you also bring the rags?”
The couple knew that he was the mayor, so they spoke more politely: “Oh, sorry, Mayor, we forgot to wash, or you can do it yourself? In fact, these clothes are of good style and quality.”
In the past few days, Wang Bo followed the backbone of the Salvation Army to build a store and figured out some of the rules of the organization. The most important point is that the Salvation Army is collecting used items for charity work, not a garbage disposal station.
Therefore, he gave them no face and said directly: “Hey, two, no matter what old items, as long as they are useful, the Salvation Army is willing to accept them. But please pay attention to two of you, the Salvation Army is not throwing garbage. Place, especially big garbage, ok? “
Large garbage is bulk garbage, such as abandoned refrigerators, washing machines, wooden furniture, etc. These items are not allowed to be placed in the trash cans. Instead, the government has to arrange cleaning cars to pick up these garbage.
Generally, these days are only once or twice a year, so every family in New Zealand has a garage. One of the uses is to store this garbage.
After listening to his words, the couple showed an embarrassing expression, and the man said, “Well, mayor, we have just immigrated to New Zealand and we don’t know the rules.”
Wang Bo pushed the two boxes back and asked, “If something is really unusable or completely damaged or polluted, please don’t waste our staff time.”
Hani also came dissatisfied and said, “Please respect the volunteers of the Salvation Army, ok? They are a group of good faith, warm and caring people, not a helper for your garbage, ok?”
“Ok! Ok!” The two nodded, and then left abruptly.
Seeing that Pharaoh’s face was ugly, Krel came to comfort him: “Hey, don’t be depressed, we will encounter various problems in our work, but the Salvation Army can overcome it, come on, I will teach you how to choose items for return class.”
