Report written by York runner
Myself, Jenna and Stef met at Planet Food Café at Southlands Church hall to help clear the hall of tables and chairs.
Stef started on the tables whilst Jenna and I got stacking the chairs. All 3 of us then swept the floor and made the hall look neat and tidy. Sophie from Planet Food asked if we could move some empty crates so I asked Stef (as I was very busy doing something else!!) if he could move the crates. After a few minutes Stef asked
where are these plates I'm supposed to move?
To which I answered
crates, not plates!
Confusion over, the crates were soon moved and the task was finished in just over half an hour.
This is a great indoor task for anyone who is available on a Thursday afternoon - with the bonus of free leftover food (we each took some bread/bread rolls/bananas/yoghurt away with us).
Intercepts surplus food from going to waste to redistribute in our open-access community cafe and shop. We feed bellies not bins and welcome anyone regardless of need to tackle the climate emergency, build community and reduce social isolation also providing many work experience /volunteering/job opprotunities.
