This week was our last Saturday at the food bank for a little while: it feels like the right time to handover to another volunteer team for a bit.

This week the food parcels were well under control when we arrived, so we didn't have to spend quite as long as usual finishing them. With just a couple to do from scratch, 4 emergency requests to fulfill and a dozen or so which needed fridge items added we were soon able to turn our attention to hall maintenance tasks: Restocking shelves, putting away donations, taking out the recycling, sorting through the fruit and veg and taking out the food waste, portioning up nappies and tea bags (not together!), trying to make the leaning tower of breakfast cereal less of a danger to all who walk past it, and finally a bit of floor sweeping and fridge cleaning.

Good luck with your move Zoe. You've been a wonderfully reliable GoodGymer - we'll miss you. You might not miss organising bread deliveries every Saturday though I guess!
