Share the love

This evening's task was a lovely indoor one on behalf of Walthamstow Toy Library.

After a short run from Greenleaf Road Baptist Church, we met up at the Toy Library to help organise donations of baby clothes, maternity clothes, toys and other items to make new-parent life easier.

What initially seemed like a mammoth task soon began to move smoothly as we figured out a system for organising clothes into 0-3 month, 3-6 months, 6-12 months and 12 - 24 months. Careful not to get distracted by the tiny hats and babygrows, we were able to make piles to go neatly into the newly constructed storage system, ready to be distributed to new parents, while making space for further donations.

As tasks goes, spending an evening cooing and marvelling at just how tiny baby clothes really are isn't too bad!

There will be more tasks at the Walthamstow Toy Library over the coming weeks, so if this sounds like fun, keep an eye on the website for more!
