Gosia and John met up in Hammersmith today to help Notting Hill Genesisย in sorting of gifts ๐, donations and food items ๐ which will be then distributed to four food banks for christmas time.
We entered a medium sized conference room with a table covered with an impressive number of bags ๐ and boxes ๐ฆ filled with a variety of food and other donations collected by local organisations. First part of our task was to unpack them all. As easy at it sounds with such a volume it was taking much more time (and space) that we expected.
Around half-way of unpacking, we started to categorize the products and making "themed" piles including cans ๐ฅซ, pasta ๐, tea ๐ต & coffee โ, cereals ๐ฅฃ and treats ๐ฌ๐ช๐ญ. This will help later ๐.
Once everything was unpacked there wasn't much time left. We have managed to wrap few boxes with a decorated paper (how surprisingly-not-easy was this!) and filled them with a nice selection of goodies. There is still a lot to be done but it was a good start!
