GoodGym members from Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Redbridge cycled along from their areas to the Bethnal Green foodbank to help out this December day between Christmas and New Year.

Beth, Chris, Jay and Simon joined a team of regular volunteers as we packed up food parcels for clients to collect the following day.

Holiday tunes were playing on the radio while well-needed food and drinks were flying off the shelves along with festive treats donated by local people.

GoodGym-ers wanting to help give out the food parcels can sign up for Wednesday's distribution session (29 December 13:30-19:30 https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/foodbank-distribution-session-a1fa0626-93a9-4fcb-a376-749d85d599ca)

... Or next week's packing session (4 January 12:00-15:30-ish https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/foodbank-packing-session-dfc5cc57-dc4b-4193-a1d9-b5875ac953ad)

... and next week's distribution session (5 January 13:30-19:30 https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/foodbank-distribution-session-0040f09f-18a7-4df1-8bf3-d220e0e28438)

Thank you from the Food bank team!
