Three GoodGymers helped East End Women foodbank in our weekly Wednesday mission.

As usual we were packing cars with food parcels to be delivered to people in need. We made sure that every delivery driver arriving to collect the food parcels had the right number of bags of food, toiletries and any extras like baby food or pet food. Once we counted out the correct number bags, we helped quickly load their cars. We struggled to find a ‘no hob’ bag but Tom managed to make one up even finding some tinned meat but no pot noodles.

In a quiet period waiting for the last driver to arrive we caught up and had a chat about all our plans covid-19 had affected. We didn’t use any wheelbarrows this week, but Liz did look to be having fun pushing a red cube on wheels around. The hour flew by!
