Tuesday 21st May
Report written by Dave White
We had a damp start to the evening with a rainy run/walk/cycle to get to the task. Claire, Luke and Dave ran, Emily walked and Jana cylced. Tonight we were at The Kingston Pantry in Tolworth, helping them with their quarterly deep clean.
We arrived at the task and waited for the task owner. After a few minutes, we realised something wasn't quite right whilst we were still waiting... a few calls and texts later, we managed to get the code for the Pantry and let ourselves in to start on the clean. Fortunately most of us had been there previously so knew the layout and what needed to be done. A few minutes more and we were greeted by an apologetic and thankful task owner Susan. Life had gotten in the way, as it often does, and it had slipped her mind. I can completely empathise!
We smashed through the cleaning and left a sparkling Pantry in our wake. Mission accomplished.
Pantries are just like a shop, giving you choice of a wide range of food including fresh fruit and veg, frozen and chilled food, long-life tinned and packaged food as well as cleaning- and hygiene products. Members pay a small subscription for a weekly shop and get up to five times the value in products!
