Hallo Billingshurst.
In case you have forgotten the Community Larder opens every Weds. Operated fully by volunteers, we celebrate their work in this Volunteer Week.
During the day, the dark art of requesting the food on a variety of apps has been in the hands of our Food Waste Ninjas. Our drivers and collectors work late in the evening collecting and loading cars, unloading, weighing and sorting at School House.
Someone cleans the venue, ready to receive the load. On Tuesday night our socials go out, reminding you to come. Our morning team come in and set out the food in categories reading for our visitors to choose their items. We help to guide you through the process and make sure the food is fairly shared. There is also cleaning, cardboard box flattening, temperature taking (the fridge/freezer not us!), a bit more paperwork, packing up leftovers to freeze or to other outlets. All because we are all passionate about food waste reduction.
It brings all of us a lot of joy to see you there, many regulars and some new. Your support is really important, whatever the reason - so keep coming, sharing the location and information and using up perfectly good food that would otherwise land up in a big hole in the ground or on a tip.
BACK TOMORROW!
