Back to Basics

There were 3 of us assisting at Foodbank this afternoon. While Natalie dealt with preparing the individual food requests, Jacqui showed me how to stock the food cupboard, decanter the crates and most importantly how to prepare a base crate for 1 person.

I soon got the hang of it and did several rounds with the trolley to fill two crates at a time with 1 cereal box each, 2 soup tins, 2 tomato tins, 3 vegetable tins, tea and coffee, pasta and rice, a packet of biscuits, toiletries, and crisps. These were then ready for sorting for individual requests.

Then the rest of the surplus rice, pasta and biscuits crates were stacked in the store room and signs created and stuck on the boxes to make them easier to find for future sessions.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.
