Report written by Kash
The Good Friday lunch at the Ealing Soup Kitchen didn't include any starters but it had early finishers. The meal ended before 3pm, and with the last of the clients served, the volunteers were offered food too. Steph, who prepared food in the kitchen, secured some fish, which was in high demand, for our gang.
Steph, along with the other ESK regulars, went ahead with the cleaning and wiped all the surfaces in the kitchen that were not going to be used anymore. The tables in the dining area started slowly disappearing and soon Henry the Hoover got on the floor.
Roberta, who didn't plan staying till the last shift, ended up being the first one to take out the rubbish and mop the floor. Kash went to the bins with the recycling waste and enjoyed destroying and compressing the cardboard boxes.
The special Easter ESK edition was wrapped up before 3pm and ended on a sweet note. The volunteers were treated to home baked cupcakes, leftover cake and surplus chocolate Easter Eggs. They will definitely have a sweet Easter time!
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.
