A Fridge-tastic clean up

Wednesday 23rd July

Written by Jade

Tonight, we helped out at Merton's Community Fridge with the post-distribution clean-up, and what a refreshing session it was! It was brilliant to see so many familiar faces back in action, and a huge welcome to Suja, who joined us for a trial after only recently hearing about us. Everyone pitched in, and we absolutely smashed through the jobs, leaving the Fridge sparkling tidy, as always! 💪 Great work, team!

Extra cool cleaners

Wednesday 16th July

Written by Jade

Extra Goodgymers attended Merton's Community Fridge to help with the post-distribution clean-up today. The earlier start time allowed for some prep work, but there was still plenty to do, including a vital mission to fix the bin sign! It was a satisfying session despite a few changes to the way things were done.

New faces, fresh Fridge

Wednesday 2nd July

Written by Jade

Alex and Jade lent a hand at Merton's Community Fridge after work for a much-needed clean-up. It was a bit chaotic with plenty of the usual sorting and tidying, and unfortunately, quite a bit of food waste to weigh and dispose of, but we powered through supporting the other new volunteers and got the job done!

Met the distribution team who were lovely , and helped out on the frozen foods section , which was probably the best place to be in the hot weather! Great to see the community pulling together to help those who need it.

Doo-ing a Deep Clean!

Wednesday 25th June

Written by Jade

Tonight, the team took on a deep-cleaning mission at Merton's Community Fridge! While the physical job of removing the partition wall didn't quite make the cut due to issues with fixings, this was probably a blessing.

After being briefed by Anelisa on what to doo, we cracked through as much as possible in the time available. Fridges were shifted, heavy crates and boxes were moved, and every single nook and cranny was cleared and cleaned. With 6 Goodgymmers in such a small space it was a pretty hot work out and the challenge was getting it all back in the right place afterwards. But thanks to the commitment to getting the job done we completed the task and even had time to enjoy a drink (of water) in return for our efforts. Well done team!
