Wednesday = GoodGym x Oxford Mutual Aid.
The tasks at the foodbank this week were:
* Add the fridge and freezer items to parcels packed earlier in the day
* Pack the rest of the food parcel list
* Do an inventory of the baby items - formula, nappies, wet wipes
* Help load up the food parcels for delivery
* Restock, sweep up, empty the bins
All was easily completed by our small but experienced team, so we'll probably get given a few more food parcels to prep next week.
You can definitely feel the pinch on finances at the food bank at the moment - this was week 2 of the new, more heavily rationed, packing lists. There was much less fruit and veg to include, and stocks of tins, pasta and rice are low. We were really happy to have plenty of Kitchen Collective meals to pop in the parcels to bump up the contents a little.
