Last night 6 GoodGym members went to the Food Bank in Woking to prepare food packages for the Salvation Army to distribute.

We welcomed Susan as a new GoodGym member and we are very happy to know her.

Anne, Katie and Adam braved the cold weather to run the 5k from Woking town centre to the location near Knaphill, while James, Lou and Susan sensibly drove!

We all enjoy helping the foodbank and they do such great work for our community so we are very happy to get involved.

Once there we received our usual warm welcome and got stuck right in to preparing 60 bags of shopping for families and 40 bags of shopping for single people. We worked hard to give each beneficiary a nice selection of foods and treats and were finished in around 90 mins which was a great achievement.

Once finished, and a quick tidy up, we posed for a few photos and left, with Adam, Anne and Katie once again braving the cold to run the 5k home.

Next session will be back to do further work at the allotment on Saturday 19th and we hope to see as many people as possible for some digging!
