ReStore's servant leaders
By Mony Siekerman
Two ONU students are learning to be servant leaders at ReStore Community Center. Bruk Getnet (left) and Jordan Holder sort clothes and other donations at the center on Monday evening.
They are members of Northern Without Borders who began volunteering their services to ReStore this week. They and other members of their group will assist every Monday because that’s the day the center finds their donation box full from the weekend.
Center manager Rob Kanzig noted that donations no longer have to be left at the front door because a large box is now available at the back of the store for gently used clothing and knickknacks.
Northern Without Borders is advised by Prof. Christine North of ONU's communication arts department.
Jordan, who has traveled as far away as the Dominican Republic with the organization to serve, found that helping can be done nearby, as well, since ReStore is located just a few blocks from campus.
