Eggplant in Kale
1 GoodGymer made their way to help the City Harvest in Ealing.

It's a quiet evening in City Harvest. I was checking my email if I received any cancellations of the evening shift, as it had happened before.
Only 4 volunteers were there including me. Usually, it will be around 8-10. Mizan, the warehouse manager, assigned me and Gareth, a volunteer whom I had paired with before, to do some vegetable insertions. The task was to insert a few aubergines into the existing tray filled with kale and other green vegetables.
So we took out trays one by one and filled them with aubergines and loaded them back again. Once the aubergines are filled, we moved to our next task. Making pallets of drinks. We made 35 crates of drinks this evening. The drinks had quite a mix today. Coke Zero, Coke no caffeine, Coke berry flavour, Pepsi max, sprite zero, some energy drinks I haven't seen before, iced tea, and water bottles of different sizes.
There was one can of Rhubarb+squeezed apple, which Gareth suggested to me to have a taste. So I took it home. After having two sips my tongue decided not to have any more of that.
The 12-4 pm shift volunteers did pretty good work that the evening shift was not needed - Jason
So the 6-8 pm shift ended at 7 pm and we all left early.
