A hearty bunch of Goodgymmers from across London gave up two hours of their Saturday afternoons to help at City London Harvest.

http://www.cityharvest.org.uk/

We had a Mountain of fresh food to sort through in particular Kale and Red Onions, there was a lot of other food to be sorted out bread/veg/fruit/meats/fish/ ready meals, and delivery Vans to be loaded.

For the Kale it was a “Fairytale Ending” after two pallets had been sorted through and placed in crates ready to be dispatched.

The Onion-Crew did well to not shed a tear when sorting through “The Never Onion-nding Story” smiled the whole way through....

Along with this we completed one of the more arduous tasks of sorting the plastic crates - This was done with a mixture of smiles and brute force.

We had some achievements today notably Sam from Southwark gaining his Wings by completing his 100th Good Deed, and Marc from Croydon completing his 1st Good Deed.

This was a fun way to spend a couple of hours laughter and good spirits throughout the two hours flew by whilst the task was achieved.

This is a regular Ealing Community Mission on the first Saturday of every month:
