There was a variety of egg-sploits for GoodGym Newcastle’s newest member Alex to egg-splore at the foodbank today. There were fewer volunteers than of late so Alex and I had to get straight into packing 50 bags of veg as the volunteer drivers were arriving thick and fast. Once the veg were sorted we arranged and stacked lots of chocolate eggs. It was lovely to see how many had been donated - around 250 children who are r-egg-ularly supported by the East End Women’s foodbank will hopefully have a smile on their faces in a couple of weeks time. Further egg-sertions were in store as Alex and I then set to work on the tinned food - unpacking newly delivered tins into the crates and lifting them onto the shelves in the store room then carrying the crates through to the packing room and re-stacking the shelves. Welcome to GoodGym Alex - you did an egg-cellent job. I hope the egg-sperience lived up to your egg-spectations!
