I got to scrub and wash dishes, got long enough washing gloves to protect from very hot sink water, have good conversation, fold up and roll tables to storage, put up chairs onto racks. 8/10 enjoyable experience.
I had a great time. I got to rinse vegetables and dishes, chop vegetables, and eat a bit of what I helped with. They had a high-pressure sprayer in a sink and a high-flow spigot, both of which made rinsing and soaking far more efficient, and also made the apron they provided very important. The other volunteers were nice, nobody was mean, the environment was friendly and chill. 10/10 experience overall. It only took 2.5 hours instead of the expected duration of 3 hours.
