They were (Food) Banking on us!

What a great start to our weekends. 6 Goodgymers joined me at the Rukhsana Khan Foundation Foodbank this Saturday morning.

We had a visitor from Islington, Jenny who joined the packing team in the community centre, bagging up 80 carriers of cans. Helen made it after a late work shift, finishing in the early hours, and got to work transporting around 200 packed bags from the packing area to the car park for the delivery drivers to collect. Tony and Rebecca headed off in to the local area and dropped flyers in 7 streets around E17. And finally a big welcome to Sophia who carried out her first GoodGym activity today, she joined Ruby at Lloyd Park Market to spread the word to hundreds of passers by about the RKF Foodbank stall where instead of buying food visitors could donate to the Foodbank's Festive Food Fund ensuring they can deliver food hampers to those households in need in the week before the Xmas break. Oh and I sorted out so many cans of donated beans & soup in to crates that I'll be dreaming off them all week!

The Foodbank enjoyed getting to know our Goodgymers and vice verser I think everyone was eager to learn about how the RKF supports the community.

This task will run for the next two saturdays and we also will be setting up another task for the 24th Dec (more details to follow on that) so please sign up if you are keen!
