Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 25, 2023

You got that right!

“Mormon Helping Hands” of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would definitely be one of those kinds of volunteers’ T-shirts.

Sorry, not helping hands at all but those hands should really say, ‘Been bought by now a slave to LDS!’

A plugger is old enough and wise enough to know the intrinsic value of helping others.

This plugger is prepared for climate change—-more water needed for more hot days ahead!

Volunteering can also be a nice way to get some moderate exercise while helping others.

Me is always volunteers to helps peoples eat their excess foods and cleans their picanic baskets.

A lesson in performing good deeds first instilled as a Mouseketeer fan of “The Mickey Mouse Club?

Pluggers are known for taking that one step forward ;-)

Unfortunately, many of the charities I donate to or volunteer for don’t carry “plugger” sizes. So my volunteer t-shirts end up getting donated.

I have lots of free blood drive t-shirts, both short and long sleeve.

Have a few wearable “Volunteer” T-shirts left in my drawer from MS Walk-A-Thons from years ago.

Got a few of those myself

I’m looking forward to getting another t-shirt from beach clean up day. Hope the weather is nice.

They can be inexpensive also- -$.50 at thrift stores.

Most of the places I volunteer charge for t-shirts. I’m OK with that. If I need to be bribed with a souvenir shirt, am I really a volunteer?

I refuse to wear tees that advertise something… unless it’s a cause I support (like Playing For Change, f’rinstance)

My top two dresser drawers were so full of years worth of T-shirts, something had to give. By the time i culled out all of the volunteer T-shirts that I’d acquired in 15 years since i retired. I have 2/3rds of one drawer with T-shirts left in it. I dropped off all of the old freebies at the local charity wardrobe shop.

I have almost 20 years worth of shirts for the local art fair, either emblazoned as Volunteer or Staff. Each was designed by an artist, and is unique. I had my favorites ones signed. Yep, they all still get worn.

Mine says “Red Cross” — for donating platelets.

We joined a reenactment unit – a not for profit – and we not only volunteer with same at events and 2-3 period houses a year, but also on the board. We did not get something to wear from them – we had to outfit ourselves with period clothing – luckily I was able to sew almost all of it as the clothing is rather expensive.
