Report written by Madhan
The title doesn't make sense on a hot summer day. But it will if you had joined me in the City Harvest for the evening session. When the Warehouse manager, Misan, said I'll be working in "the fridge", I felt much joy. The task was to put the freshly squeezed oranges into the crates. We were initially planning to make one pallet, but Jason later said, let's make a pallet out of all the orange bottles. It was quite cold inside the fridge tbh as I had to get out to enjoy the warmth after the first hour.
Andrea, after filling the first pallet, decided to test her palette with the orange juice as it was tempting not to have a drink out of that. It was a bittersweet experience as neither of us particularly liked the taste of it.
City Harvest helps put surplus food to good use in a sustainable way, by distributing to organisations that feed the hungry.
