We returned to Merton's Community Fridge to finish what we started: this time sorting through supplies and getting every box clearly labelled; benefitting from fresh batteries in the label maker! A couple of the team also helped with the clean up. It’s amazing what a difference a few labels and some elbow grease can make.

We had a fantastic turnout to help clean and organise the storage area at Merton's Community Fridge for tonight's group session. After a briefing, we emptied the entire room and then split up into 3 teams; 2 groups on labelling and sorting all the food and other items and then the other team tackled the deep cleaning. Everyone got stuck in and a lot was achieved - well done team!

A big welcome to Jo and congratulations on your first GoodGym task, we hope to see you again soon.

We spent our session tonight getting everything spic and span at the Community Fridge, knocking out the usual familiar cleaning jobs, leaving the space looking fresh and tidy for the week ahead.

Beyond the scrubbing, we spent some time prepping for next week’s group session creating a long list of tasks to keep us busy when we return with the full crew.

The final distribution cleanup of the year, and honestly, it was a bit of a mammoth task. Thankfully, a few of the regular distribution volunteers stayed behind to help. We spent a good chunk of time sifting through stacks of crates and bags of rubbish/recycling and creating some order to the chaos. Making the storage area extra clean and tidy for a fresh start for January, it was a solid workout to end the year.

Lots to cleaning and clearing today but we were set to finish ahead of schedule for a change. Until we realised the laundry had been forgotten!

This slight delay gave us the opportunity to handle the excess bread that needed disposing of along with thoroughly rinsing all the cloths.

A great end of day job as always - it's the last session next week, why not join us: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/help-with-clean-up-at-merton-s-community-fridge-wednesday-f2e883b7-dfdb-41c9-b310-c0f76aa408e7

After bunching up rosemary at Mitcham Orchard there was time for a quick relay to deliver the fresh harvest to Merton's Community Fridge for the next distribution session.
