Report written by Anwen Greenaway
Our regular Saturday afternoon shift at Oxford Mutual Aid is meant to be an opportunity to clean the hall and kitchen as well as restocking the shelves. Over the last few weeks the volume of food parcels needing packing has meant we've rarely managed to do much cleaning or restocking.
Well, STOP THE CLOCK: today we cleaned and restocked!
Jo restocked shelves with tins, rice, pasta, and coffee, Katie cleaned the fridges and logged the fridge temperatures, Zoe tackled the mountain of bread (there's always a glut of baked goods on Saturdays) and sorted fruit and veg, Anwen emptied bins and stacked crates. With a bit of teamwork on packing 6 Emergency food parcels, sorting baby clothes onto the appropriate shelves, and a scoot round with broom and mop we were done and out into spring sunshine on the dot of 5pm.
GoodGym does strange things to you...Hooray for a chance to clean and empty bins!
