Report written by Kash
On Monday evening, Divya and Kash rushed from work to get to West Ealing for the Soup Kitchen service for the homeless. Both landed in the clothes department: Divya on mens and Kash on womens.
As the temperatures started to drop, warm jumpers, coats, thick socks, gloves and hats were in demand. Luckily, the Soup Kitchen had a decent amount of those today. The toiletries table was also well stocked up with an abundance of shower gel scents so that clients could pick their favourites.
The shift finished with wiping and folding the tables, sweeping the floor, and, of course, squeezing the bags with packed clothes into the Cupboard of Doom™. The last activity resulted in a surprisingly neatly organised cupboard - it looked so flawless that the volunteers started worrying that they had forgotten to pack something up!
Ealing Soup Kitchen is a registered charity set up to help the vulnerable and homeless in the area. Nine local churches support our faith-based Soup Kitchen, which has been running since 1973.
