Stage 2 of our mini project with Get Rid Of And Donate saw us building on the progress from last night.

All of the loose clothing was to be packed into bags for individuals, each person being given a few tops, gloves, scarves, hats and socks, and then a bit more of everything when we realised we had been too sparing and there were loads more donations to assign. The large suitcases were each filled with a tent, sleeping bag and blanket, and the smaller ones had a towel and a travel pillow. Meanwhile Tessa got on with putting toiletries and towels into little blue waterproof bags, efficiently packing a whole table full and carefully dealing with a shampoo explosion.

Once all the items had been assigned we moved everything back (neatly) into the original unit ready to be loaded onto the van tomorrow for distribution.
