It was a crate session at the East End Women’s foodbank task today. Charlotte, Kate and I joined forces with staff members Sarah and Fiona to make short work of the tasks. Fiona had been super organised and had all the bags already organised so we could quickly load them into the drivers’ cars as they arrived. Kate and Charlotte chipped away at a huge pile of cardboard packaging, clearing it into the recycling bins while I cr’ated more work for them by unpacking more boxes and organising food into crates - they were lined up like the crate wall of China! The card was carted away and the crates were neatly stacked. We finished off by re-stocking the shelves ready for more bags to be packed next week - emptying crates so we could unpack more boxes, refill the crates and create a new cardboard pile! I reckon we did a crate job! Will we be back next week? I have crate expectations!
