EPic food parcel packers
6 GoodGymers made their way to help the Oxford Mutual Aid in Oxford.

You could definitely tell that it was the last week of January at the food bank: it's been a cold (and therefore expensive) month, and so people are struggling to make ends meet.
In addition to the regular Saturday food recipients there were 17 requests for emergency help. Between finishing packing the parcels for the 2nd van delivery route of the day and prepping the 17 emergency food parcels there wasn't time for much restocking or cleaning and tidying.
You can definitely feel the effects of rising cost of living and reduced benefits at the food bank, and it's heart breaking.
