...Or perhaps more accurately, other Goodgymers carried the watermelons which we packed into food parcels this evening.

Tonight we packed 6 emergency food parcels and 30 parcels for regular delivery recipients. There's so much food going out of Oxford Mutual Aid each day that it's hard to keep on top of restocking the shelves. We did an emergency dash to buy milk and cereal to stock up the shelves which were completely bare, and gratefully received lots of cabbages for the vegetable racks acquired by GoodGymer Lorenzo via a work contact. We had lots of fruit options to put in food parcels tonight but pre-cooked meals were a bit thin on the ground, so we tried to make up for that with a few sweet treats courtesy of a donation from M&S.
