The mission went well and I had the pleasure of meeting fellow Goodgymer Catherine, as we set off to help Life After Hummus in collecting surplus food from supermarket within walking distance. The round trip took around an hour, but was well worth it for around 6 trays of surplus food including lots of fruit, veg, eggs and various bread products. We returned to base with a cart bursting with food, and Life After Hummus seemed delighted with the haul.

We had a great crew at Elizabeth House Foodbank this afternoon for our weekly foodbank deliveries (on foot and by bike). We were joined by Goodgym legend Beth and very busy mission runner Andrew, along with new Goodgymmer Catherine and top dude Tom. Andrew and another local volunteer loaded up a trolley full of shopping, food and essential supplies for households in the neighbouring housing estates, while everyone else walked their deliveries to houses and flats across Islington, Arsenal and Finsbury Park (all within 1 mile of the community centre).

Within no more than an hour, we were able to distribute absolutely loads of shopping bags to at least 20 locations.
