Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
Claire, Lucy and Sam met Steph and all the other GROAD volunteers at St. Faith's to set up the room for the Open House for the refugees on Monday. This is where families come and choose whatever items they want and need. We brought in the clothes hanger to display various coats, jeans and summer dresses (maybe a bit too early) and put the rest of the items to display on tables. The biggest table was the kids toys as there has been a lot of toys that have been donated over these past few weeks.
There were also a few donations from the public that streamed in constantly over the hour, however, these weren't sorted out as the process was before. They were put to the back on the patio to be sorted on a later date.
We managed to set the room up within 30 minutes and this was helped with the number of volunteers.
Don’t let your rejected items end up abandoned on streets or in landfills, where they can sit disintegrating and damaging our environment. Reach out to Get Rid Of and Donate, arrange a free collection for your unwanted goods and help us be there for everyone who needs us.
