As there was no food delivery from CityHarvest today, it's just snacks and hot meals for today. Emmanuella asked Steph and I to do the crowd control for today. We got ourselves a warm jacket and stood outside.

It was rainy and windy and after 7 minutes there were no guests. It was Emmanuella's first time doing the 6-8 pm shift. She was in the clothing section today. It's a very quiet day today as there were hardly 25 guests.

As there was so much food left over, Emma asked us to do a search around the premises and find some guests. Steph and I walked to the Sainsbury's nearby and came back.

There was a guy in a van asking if we could take the leftover food from the NYE party he celebrated yesterday. We declined the offer but he donated a bag of clothes instead. We got a surprise when we opened the bag. It was full of salt and very old clothes.

By 7:30 we started packing the clothes and each of us took a box of food as there were so many leftovers.

Wow, I've never heard of Mondays' Ealing Soup Kitchen being so quiet. Nice work modelling the hi-vis 🦺
