Livin' It Extra Extra Large
1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Ealing Soup Kitchen in Ealing.

Sevan arrived at Soup Kitchen just in time to start service, giving Steph a fist bump as he finished the first shift and carried his bike out of the door. Sevan was asked to staff the now familiar men's clothing table.
When he got there, everything looked larger than usual. The table was bigger, the clothes were stacked higher and the clothes themselves were larger too. Maybe Sevan had shrunken on the run to Soup Kitchen. Nope, they'd had a donation of super sized clothes. Most of the tables were filled with XL, 2XL and 3XL shirts and jackets, with most of the trousers having 40+ inch waists.
There was a brisk service for the first 40 minutes before things quietened down. The usual clients made an appearance along with a few new faces. Many of them were too slim to take clothes home, thought they did find a few big coats to snuggle up in when the weather turns colder 🧥.
With all the new donations, it came down to volunteer Matt to squeeze everything into the Cupboard of Doom (TM). It seemed like an impossible task and no matter how much he shuffled the crates and bags, something couldn't be squeezed in. With everything packed up, Sevan decided to head off home before Matt exploded in frustration.

Size does matter 🤣🤣 couldn't believe the sizes when sorting them out and putting labels. You could fit 3 or 4 of me in those 🤣🤣
