Our Wednesday commitment to Oxford Mutual Aid continues...
Today we finished preparing all the parcels due to be delivered or collected on Wednesday evening, and started getting the non-chilled items together for the Thursday deliveries.
There's always plenty of work behind the scenes to keep the hall running reasonably smoothly. Most Wednesdays we sort and dispose of the fresh goods which are going bad, get the fridges in order, take out the rubbish and recycling, and do a bit of shelf restocking. Tonight was no exception.
And yes, someone opened the perilous fridge!
About Oxford Mutual Aid:
Oxford Mutual Aid formed in response to the Covid-19 crisis in March last year. As the crisis overwhelmed local infrastructure they focused on seeking out all those vulnerable people who were struggling to access food support.
Last week's stats:
Food parcels reached 1014 people last week, including adults, children and babies.
As the only source of emergency food support available in Oxford 7 days-a-week, multiple requests were received from St. Mungo’s and the City Council, as well as self-referrals for urgent food support.
Through the Kitchen Collective program (precooked meals) an additional 255 meals were delivered to 90 households.
