On a slightly grey Thursday morning we rocked up to York Foodbank's warehouse to find many familiar foodbank volunteers enjoying a cuppa before the van with the donations arrived, with the plea to rid them of a mince pie or two.

Shortly after Rich turned up so did the van and the frenetic activities began. From weighing, to categorising and then sorting by BBE date we scurried round the stacks to find the right crate.

Rich soon got stuck into his favourite food category - the breakfast cereals (which was good because the crates were only getting higher), while I found an overly familiar box of pasta and... what I thought to be only a myth, a can of out of date spam!

After 2 hours, many cups of tea and countless cans of baked beans, cereal, coffee, soup, biscuits...etc,etc later we wrapped up the task, said our goodbyes and went on our merry way.
