5 runners braced the chill to help out again at the BCDP.
We were back again this week to help categorise the generous donations made by the public to the BCDP. The BCDP is a drop-in service providing a hot meal and support for the homeless, addicted, and people in need in the Barnsley area.
The GG Barnsley group are well versed now in the sorting process, so we set about collecting boxes, setting up crates, and deciding on categories including: men's and women's toiletries, stationary, books, drinks, sweets and biscuits, soups, canned foods, pasta, tissues and wipes, clothing, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and miscellaneous. Phew! ๐งค๐งฃ๐๐ญ๐ฅซ
Chat topics ranged from recent runs and spinning classes, to Grace's efforts in going vegan for February. Good effort Grace! ๐ฝ We are also looking forward to our upcoming community mission at the Penistone Leisure Complex: click here for details.
Next week for our Group Run, we are running up to Emmanuel Church to help with tidying the toddler room during half term. Click here to sign up!
