We spent a couple of hours on call at the Oxford Mutual Aid food bank in case any emergency support requests came in on Christmas morning. We used the time wisely restocking the shelves, sweeping and tidying, and dealing with the mountain of fresh fruit and veg. We delivered some of the veg to Za'atar Bake, who plan to turn if into meals for the homeless, discarded any that was totally past it, and got the rest stored a bit more efficiently. At the end of our shift we did have an emergency request come in, which we packed and delivered in time for the recipient to have a late lunch.
