One way Carole Stokes of West Terre Haute, a Providence Associate, lives out the mission of love, mercy and justice is in her volunteer work at The Helping Hands thrift store. She’s been volunteering and helping on the board since 2007. “I feel like I’m doing God’s work. I see miracles happen every day here,” she said.
Volunteers prepare the store with new inventory on the days that it is not open. It’s a big job with as many items as are purchased each time the store opens.
