It was a wonderful experience assisting Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre with the collection, unloading and sorting of 2 deliveries in preparation for its weekly Friday food distribution session.

The deliveries were packed with variety: numerous crates of vegetables including broccoli, onions, carrots, potatoes and cabbages; fruit such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, lemons and clementines; loaves of white, wholemeal and brown bread; and snacks ranging from crisps, including maple bacon and vegan options, to Nakd and Huel protein bars.

Getting everything unloaded and sorted helped the centre prepare for another well-stocked session supporting local vulnerable residents.
