Road Trip – Day 6

TFC Chapel

Greensboro, North Carolina

Trailers for Chapels?

Monday, August 23

 

 

We arrived in Greensboro on Sunday evening and stayed at a motel near the chapel.

 

 

Early Monday morning we went to the Greensboro TA at Whitsett, North Carolina, so Cerwin could make a repair to the roof where an annoying leak causes problems on rainy days.

A creative way to encourage donations.

 

 

They also have an interesting donation box.

After Cerwin finished working on the roof, we drove to another area of Greensboro where we had an appointment with a recycling plant manager who had trailers he wanted to donate to TFC.

 

 

We easily found the recycling plant, and after going through security drove over a winding dirt road toward the area where we were directed.

 

 

Things were well organized by metals and degree of recycling.

 

 

There were acres of things being recycled and lots of roads and paths.

 

 

After asking a few questions, Cerwin found Wayne, the manager who called him about the trailers.

 

 

It was easy to see why he did not like cutting up these nice trailers.

 

 

There were about twenty-four of them, but each one had a fiberglass roof. Cerwin needs trailers with stronger roofs than that for use as a chapel. It was disappointing that we could not use any of these. However, this was a great contact, and Wayne said he now knows what we need and will get in touch if he gets a trailer that meets our needs.
