J Ludecker and Sarah Koestler fill a bright purple laundry style bag with period kits wrapped in a discrete teal packaging.  Ludecker wears glasses, fair hair, a white t-shirt with an unbuttoned dark green dress shirt, sleeves rolled up, brown pants and a black belt. Koestler has brown, wavy shoulder length hair. She's wearing a short sleeved buttoned down blue-green shirt and stands behind a table.  She is smiling as she hands Ludecker a period kit for him to place in the bag. In the foreground at the bottom of the frame is a giant cardboard box filled with hundreds of period kits. There's a poster hanging to the left above the box of period kits of  a black bear in a blue diaper that reads "Let's talk about diaper time."  In the background behind them is a stack of lumber that belongs to Habitat for Humanity.
