Who this task will support
Vauxhall Foodbank
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.

Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.

Our friends at VGCC have asked for our help and we have three fantastic sessions for Lambeth GoodGymers to get involved with.

This is a new session session on Friday's in addition to the existing sessions on Wednesday and Thursday mornings so do check those out as well*

VGCC are a centre for creativity and community on the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. We are here to make life better for everyone. We value the good things in life, like friendship, kindness, imagination and laughter. Everything we do is guided by our commitment to strengthening creativity and community in Vauxhall and by our love of two principles, Pleasure and Industry.

The task is to help receive the food donations that come in and sort and pack them at the centre.

Come for as little or as much as you like but the whole session runs from 9am to 3pm or as long as you can do between 9-12.00. Distribution happens from 12.00 to 3pm and we would ideally need people to stay for the whole time for that slot.

It is a huge job so anybody who is free on those days or who has flexible working your help would be much appreciated!

The Office Phone Number for any questions is 0207 793 1110


How are you getting there?

Hi, unfortunately, I signed up because it was the Bank Holiday as was available because I wasn't working. I'm definitely interested in making it work for a future session though!
