Here's what Mr K of W13 had to say about the mission:

Thank you Good gym for all the work you do in the community. (Referrer feedback)

Mr K of W13, mission beneficiary

It's my first foodbank mission with Ealing Foodbank where I'm on the receiving end. I'm collecting groceries on behalf of Mr.K who couldn't carry heavy weights for long distances due to a condition in his lung.

I've reached the St.Mellitus Church at 10:00 hoping to be an early bird. But there was a long queue ahead of me. After 50 minutes, I presented the voucher and the lovely volunteers at the Foodbank helped me pick the food for Mr. K.

I had earlier called Mr.K to check if he has any preferences on his foodbank parcel.

I'll eat anything and everything - Mr.K

After filling two bags full of groceries, some of which I recognize from the lovely donations we've been doing on a monthly basis, I went to the fruit and bread section to fill the 3rd bag.

It was a nice workout for my arms and shoulders carrying the grocery back to Mr.K's house. I was looking back and forth when I reached the destination and I couldn't find the door no. There was an old person sitting outside a house with an open door. He asked me whether the bags I'm carrying is from Foodbank. I said yes and started walking. He told me to come inside. That's when I realized he was Mr. K.
