A whole load of donations? Get tin!

Me and Steve arrived to Tesco's Dean Street to a semi-empty donation station ready to hand out FareShare's food list to Soho's shoppers.

Even though everyone was rushing home, it was amazing how many people stopped to take a leaflet, asked questions about FareShare and bought even a small thing #everycanhelps

The best bits: - Someone buying a whole carrier bag of tea because a cup of tea is the best - A man explaining to Sam, in great detail, why there are glittery baubles on Christmas trees (it's to do with fairies - who knew!) - Clearing Tescos out of single tins of tuna - Steve grabbing items, Supermarket Sweep style, when people asked him to find them an item to donate - Having five people donate full baskets - Watching the table fill up so much that it almost turned into a giant tin game of Jenga - Seeing the faces of weary Londoners light up after they'd donated whatever they could

After three hours of chiming 'would you like to donate an item today?', we left Tescos dreaming of pasta and baked beans.
