Report written by Sevan
Today's service at Ealing Soup Kitchen was all about pasta bakes and winter clothes. Kash and Sevan took a side each and had to put a shift in to shift the meals and hats into the clients' hands and out of the doors.
Kash started by packing hot meals and shuttling them from the kitchen to the service counter, making sure that the hot boxes were stocked up. With that job completed, kitchen clean up was next on her list, scrubbing down the hob and worktops.
Sevan was on the other side, clothing, minding the door and making sure the clients stuck to the rules. There was an extra task for him this week as the Soup Kitchen tried to move on their winter stock of clothes.
"Don't forget to flog the hats. They're free"
Sevan tried his best and some of the beanies found new homes through his and the other volunteers' efforts. Then he found out that there was another stash hidden away to restock the table. Oh well, maybe next week will be equally cold and windy 🍃
Kash and Sevan finished the session by packing the cupboard of doom (TM). It didn't feel as daunting as it used to, so the team must've done a good job of shifting those bulky cold weather clothes.
Ealing Soup Kitchen is a registered charity set up to help the vulnerable and homeless in the area. Nine local churches support our faith-based Soup Kitchen, which has been running since 1973.
