Four runners helped to sort donations and supplies at the night shelter store room this evening. Bernardo gave us our brief which was to organise the stock and donations, making it clearly labelled and accessible so that everything could be located easily. Lil and Vic were on a roll with organising the sleeping bags and blankets, and had them stacked super-neatly in record time. Meanwhile, Elisse and Debora were sorting through donations of clothes including many pairs of worn pants (!) which were all discarded. Despite the pants, people had been so generous with their donations, including lots of hand knitted gloves and scarves. By the time we finished the store room looked much tidier and everything was clearly labelled. Donations are received regularly, and it looks like there will be plenty more sorting to do on the next mission!
