Steph Ducat arrived a bit early at the church and then started to help out when the Foodbank team arrived. Straight forward : move tables, set them up in the different areas, move crates from the storage to the tables, then setup tables with table clothes and chairs in the main hall ready for customers to be able to sit down later with a hot beverage and biscuits.Then it was time to unload the van and move the crates into the church for the other volunteers to lay them out on the tables. Once van emptied, had to relaod woth oaa the empty crates, plastic containers and cardboard boxes. Fin-tastic job : alot of fish tins mainly tuna delivered on top of the milk, juices, soup, vegetables, ready meals etc.. The team did a fin-tastic job today and were ready to welcome customers in the church.

First mission by Tim so a merry welcome!

Many lands make light work as the saying goes, and it was a pleasure to help move all the food in preparation for the food bank opening!

Pleasure to meet Ian and welcome him to his first goodgym mission.

With another pair of hands, we make quick work ferrying around the supplies for the food banks opening; a really rewarding experience!

Thanks to Hammersmith and Fulham foodbank for having us!

They were low on volunteers this week so appreciated two newbies to this task. Asma was keen to join the GoodGym after hearing me race on how great it is, and this session was near work that only required an hour away from the office. Looks can be deceiving...we started of moving the tables from the church hall to the front and I felt like She- Ra (80s character for those too young to remember ;) they were so light I'm sure I could have spun them on my pinkie finger and flung them across! Rest assured I wasn't brave to attempt that but cool to imagine it. Then the chairs were set up and next onto moving the boxes of goods into the side room. The City Harvest van arrived and this is where Asma learnt something she never thought of before, how to manoeuvre the trolley without dropping the pallets, but mastered it she did. After watching the trial and error, I decided it was easier for me to carry in the pallets. The donation of Gail's bread required slicing in half and bagging up yummy looking pastries. We left when the hot meals were being delivered as the other volunteers for the Foodbank were around.

Great to always return to the food bank with a lovely energetic team and run stock in and out to customers

Becca and Jo helped set up the foodbank this morning. Existing canned food from last week was brought out of the storage cupboard, laid out in the shopping list order and newer stock was added in. All done in time for the foodbank to open at 10am!
