Despite the food delivery coming earlier and the morning team sorting it all out, our presence for the afternoon shift at BFC still proved useful.

We cleaned, cleaned and cleaned from new dispensers to fridges and shopping baskets. We even had time to cut out more egg cartons and tidy up the shop. By the end of the shift, the shop looked cleaner than all of our homes.

Our dream team pulled out all the stops (and sheets!) to run a quick mile in support of Brooke, our host with the most at the American International Church, helping provide pillow talk-worthy care for those living on the streets this winter. Joining the comfort crew were Alex, Tom, Emily, Louise, Rose, Steve, Jackie, John, and Ivar, blanketing the night in kindness and teamwork as we got the bedspaces ready for nearly 20 guests arriving later.

The team was sheet-hot, working quickly and with bedside manner that could rival Santa’s elves. In between tasks, we reflected on the restful vibes of the holiday season and how small gestures like this can tuck in hope for those who need it most. It was a session that left us all feeling fluffed up with warmth and reassurance, knowing that for at least one night, everyone would be sleeping soundly.
