Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
Sam showed up to help the GROAD volunteers with the last GROAD session at St Faith's on a Sunday for a whole month.
They had plenty to do as the porch was packed with bags of donations that Andrea had picked up over the week. Most had to be hanged, otherwise items like duvets, bed sheets and other items could be left in the bags as there is no Open House tomorrow. These items will be taken to other refugee temporary accommodation or centres to be distributed.
Unlike last week, loads of donations from the general public came in. There were at least 10 drop offs of which two were car loads. People are taking Spring cleaning to the extreme with a whole house clear out it seems.
Still, this was the last chance before a month break.
There was so much to do that we ensured there was a system in place to get things done otherwise lots of these things wouldn't have been finished.
Don’t let your rejected items end up abandoned on streets or in landfills, where they can sit disintegrating and damaging our environment. Reach out to Get Rid Of and Donate, arrange a free collection for your unwanted goods and help us be there for everyone who needs us.
