We had a great team at the Packington Gallery Foodbank last night! Trainer Simon was joined by Lora and Steve for our weekly cleaning and sanitising session for this essential community hub.

Steve got cracking with wiping down all of the surfaces with disinfectant and sanitiser (moving huge boxes of donated fruit and veg in the process), while Lora swept up all the floors in the main room and kitchen areas, before we all pitched in with a good mopping session.

Just as Trainer Simon and Steve were about to jog to Newington Green, we were met by a few volunteers from Edible London, who were dropping off loads of donations at the site. We unloaded their car and brought in tonnes of cans and tins for the project before closing up and setting off into the night.

Great work folks- your contribution to this regular task is invaluable!
