Once we got past the Task Owners little glitch in printing off the forms todays Food Bank session got off to a good start.

A huge welcome to Sam for completing her first session with us and what a great job she did too, hope to see you again soon.

Our quiet start was soon livened up by a group of 14 from a different volunteer group who wanted to help pick and pack as well as provide additional little snack packs to give to the children. With space always at a premium the term organised chaos comes to mind.

Once the visitors had done their bit normal service resumed with us helping the drivers and restocking. This is where we found a handful of out of date cereal boxes which were given out to willing recipients and an exploded liquid detergent bottle which took a bit of cleaning up.

As always we were pretty pleased with a job well done.
