**5 goodgymers ran 8km to Feeding Coventry to give their kitchen equipment a clean. **
It was a cold, foggy wintery evening, but that didn't put off our intrepid group of runners. After a quick warm up and briefing, we set off on a chatty, sociable run up to Foleshill Community Centre. Once we arrived, we were greeted by a member of staff who gave us a tour of some of their sparkling new facilities. We were wowed by the stunning new space and all the great activities now operating out of the centre. Tonight, our task was a washing up challenge. Since the big building works, lots of the equipment needed a thorough clean and there was a mountain of washing up to be tackled. We soon set about a system of washing and drying and got to work.
Before long, it was time to head back to base, but not before squeezing in one more good deed for the evening...picking up several sacks of potatoes for a local primary school class activity. Great cross training carrying the bags through the city centre.
Feeding Coventry is a small charity with big ambition: To create a food resilience city in Coventry where nobody goes hungry. We are committed to working with partners and local communities to tackle the root causes of hunger, build food security, provide low cost food to vulnerable groups and support people in crisis.
