Creams up and chips in

Wednesday 23rd April

Written by Jade

On arrival we were asked to support by briefing today's corporate volunteers on the various cleaning tasks. Whilst Peter continued with some of the cleaning Jade chipped in to help with the distribution of donated dry food goods. Unfortunately there was a "dairy" situation, a cream spill that needed a swift and thorough cleanup to prevent any sticky situations! We worked together with the extra hands ensuring to finish ahead of time; the early bird catches the next session 😉.

Eggs-tra good clean

Written by Jade

Tonight, Jade and Peter were on hand to support with the clean-up post distribution and pre Easter. With the eggs-tra pair of hands there was time to attack the often-neglected nooks and crannies behind the storage boxes. Armed with a vacuum and determination, a proper behind-the-scenes refresh was completed after a hands-on sort-through of cartons, egg boxes, and miscellaneous bits and bobs.

Cleaning crew, reporting for duty!

Spent an hour this evening lending a hand at Merton’s Community Food Bank — armed with gloves, a vacuum, and enough sanitiser to keep the germs on their toes. I took on the floor vacuuming duties and helped give the place a good scrub-down, from bins to boxes, making everything sparkle.

Spent the day helping out Merton's Community Fridge team - armed with gloves, a vacuum, and enough sanitiser to make any germ think twice. From vacuuming floors to tackling the bins and giving boxes a squeaky-clean glow-up, every little bit helps. Big respect to the team doing this day in and day out - heroes in high-vis!
