As a tourist to Lambeth from Sheffield, I joined Talei and Iain on their first ever GG good deeds (well done!) and return helper Rima. We arrived at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre, where we met with Melvin and heard all about how the initiative works. They have weekly deliveries from different sources ahead of their Friday food pantry, which has 90-100 patrons each week.

Whilst we were waiting, we were put to work decanting various sauces into plastic containers and opening and separating packs of "Nakd" bars. Just as we were losing hope, one van full arrived, and before we knew it, the next! We unloaded and took inventory, before transferring chilled items to the fridges and leaving items neatly organised ahead of Friday's pantry, including lots of Xmas treats!


This task supported
Vauxhall Foodbank
Our oldest and most popular task!

Vauxhall Foodbank provide short term food support to families and individuals in crisis. We help them out by sorting food collected from local supermarkets into categories and making sure it is correctly weighed. This task is the dream for all lovers of neatness and order. Feel the calm wash over you as all the tins get sorted and put away. The work we do here would take the voluntary staff hours to do by themselves. We get everything bang tidy in 20 mintes.
