Me, Laurie, David and Rachel met up just as the heavens opened around the back of Tesco’s for our weekly food deliveries of Fareshare donations on behalf of the Little Edi Foundation.

Having a little catch up it wasn’t too long before the donations were given to us. There wasn’t a large amount of food but Rachel had bought a bag full of canned foods and other goodies to add to our food parcels and and bulk them out a bit. Thanks Rachel!!!!

We packed 5 food parcels in total and got to delivering them to families around Chelmsford.

Ohhhh it was a cold one!! Although the snow and ice may have been clearing it felt particularly chilly this Sunday as Lindsay, Rachel, Caroline and myself waited outside the back of the Tescos for our weekly food drop with The Little Edi Foundation. As we’re becoming such regulars with them, Celia gave us our own lanyards for the task so the families know who we are.

Unfortunately there wasn’t a great deal of food this week but there was a whole pallet of celery. Some of it went to the families but knowing they probably won’t be able to use all of it and to prevent waste a lot of it will be going to Sanctus to be turned into meals for some of the homeless and vulnerable people around Chelmsford.

Thanks to everyone for helping out this week!

For what is now our usual Sunday afternoon task with the Little Edi Foundation we welcomed Lindsay for her very first GoodGym session. I hope you enjoyed it Lindsay and look forward to seeing you at further sessions in the future!!

Pam was back for her second task with us and Rachel and Isabelle clearly enjoyed last week so much they were back for the second week on the trot!!

It’s fair to say there wasn’t as much food this week as there has been recently but after waiting for a little while and having a little chin wag the Tesco gates opened and lots of bread was given to us (hence the pun….. I’m sorry).

Everyone managed to get one bag packed and delivered to a family in need in Chelmsford. Well done everyone!! Hopefully there will be a bit more food next week so we can make a few more deliveries.

As a nice little send off, if you pop into the Tesco’s you can now find a lovely poster featuring some familiar faces from last week’s task by the exit!! Local celebrities indeed!!
