After the hottest day of the year so far yesterday it was a little cloudy today when Tanya and I met for our second task in less than twenty four hours. Nevertheless there was plenty of work to keep us warm at the foodbank today. There had been a slight shortage of volunteers earlier in the week so we had a variety of tasks to get stuck into. We started with quickly packing thirty bags of cupboard food to keep up while fellow volunteer Chan organised the bags and loaded them into the volunteer delivery drivers’ cars. Next up we made a start on the huge pile of cardboard, flattening it and loading it into the shipping container outside. No - it still hasn’t been emptied and yes - it’s pretty full now! Our last task was tidying and re-stocking the shelves. We were short of tomatoes but well supplied with meatballs!
