Gosia and John met up in Hammersmith today to help Notting Hill GenesisΒ in sorting of gifts 🎁, donations and food items πŸ›’ 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 πŸ› and boxes πŸ“¦ 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 πŸ₯«, pasta 🍝, tea 🍡 & coffee β˜•, cereals πŸ₯£ and treats 🍬πŸͺ🍭. This will help later πŸ™‚.

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!
