Spud-tacular clean up

Wednesday 6th August

Written by Jade

Merton's Community Fridge post-distribution clean-up session was just what was needed to end the day. The volunteers had fun learning about the recent changes and of course there was plenty of cleaning to be done and a huge amount of potatoes to shift.

A big welcome to Djuna, who joined for the first of hopefully many more sessions.

We are back on Wednesday 20th so sign up and get involved of your can.

A Fridge-tastic clean up

Wednesday 23rd July

Written by Jade

Tonight, we helped out at Merton's Community Fridge with the post-distribution clean-up, and what a refreshing session it was! It was brilliant to see so many familiar faces back in action, and a huge welcome to Suja, who joined us for a trial after only recently hearing about us. Everyone pitched in, and we absolutely smashed through the jobs, leaving the Fridge sparkling tidy, as always! 💪 Great work, team!

Extra cool cleaners

Wednesday 16th July

Written by Jade

Extra Goodgymers attended Merton's Community Fridge to help with the post-distribution clean-up today. The earlier start time allowed for some prep work, but there was still plenty to do, including a vital mission to fix the bin sign! It was a satisfying session despite a few changes to the way things were done.

New faces, fresh Fridge

Wednesday 2nd July

Written by Jade

Alex and Jade lent a hand at Merton's Community Fridge after work for a much-needed clean-up. It was a bit chaotic with plenty of the usual sorting and tidying, and unfortunately, quite a bit of food waste to weigh and dispose of, but we powered through supporting the other new volunteers and got the job done!

Met the distribution team who were lovely , and helped out on the frozen foods section , which was probably the best place to be in the hot weather! Great to see the community pulling together to help those who need it.
