We've been regular volunteers at the Oxford Mutual Aid food bank for 18 months, but with work getting busy the time has come to re-evaluate the Wednesday 4pm-6pm shift there. A solid final (for now) Wednesday afternoon shift saw us packing dozens of food parcels for distribution, and also prepping some Emergency Requests. Despite the busy shift we found a bit of time at the end to restock shelves, reorganise some of the crates to unearth the ones being collected early Thursday morning, and get the food waste out into the big bins.

Well done everyone who has been involved with the food bank shifts over the last 18 months. You have helped thousands of people. We'll take a short break from the weekly commitment, but do keep your eyes open for some shifts at other times after the Easter weekend - we'll try a few different time slots out every now and then to find something that works better for the team now that life has returned to something close to normal.
