Report written by Sian Dobson Hughes
One of our regular and super rewarding tasks is helping at the Care4Calais warehouse in Stockport.
With the arrival of a large number of refugees into the Uk and some being housed at local hotels in Manchester. Care4 Calais desperately need both volunteers and donations to help those in need.
As the cold weather draws in,the refugees are in need of warm Winter clothes to see them through the Winter months. Our task for last night's session was to create care packages of clothes to be delivered to individual hotel rooms.
We were each designated room numbers along with lists of clothes and shoes for each person then searched and scoured the warehouse to find all the goodies to package up.
It's easy to see how our previous clothes sorting tasks are valuable as the warehouse was now separated into sections of gender, age, clothing item and size A perfect system!
20 bags in and all the packages were ready to wind their way to those in need. It was a heartwarming task knowing that someone will receive a package of goddies ready to keep them warm over the cold Winter months.
We definitely have the hang'er this task now!
