All In The Bag

I had a great morning at the food bank. Luca, Leon and the team made me very welcome and soon put me to work, after appropriate temperature checks and hand gel of course. First job was filling food parcels for families of various sizes from their handy pre prepared “shopping lists”. After that it was time to sort food into boxes according to their use by date to avoid food being wasted by passing its expiry date. I was asked to sort biscuits and I have never seen so many packets of yummy digestives, custard creams and my personal favourite, fig rolls! Time for some more sorting and labelling food to ensure all the stock is organised and rotated, it really is like a well oiled machine. Finally I was extremely pleased to pass on the dozens and dozens of carrier bags which I have accumulated over the last few months as our online supermarket no longer takes them back for recycling. Luckily they came in useful at the food bank for packing donations into and I finally get my garage space back! All in all a very productive morning - and another mission “in the bag”!
