Goodgymers Brenda and Joe put in a shift at BPC, Joe was on fruit and veg dutirs and Brenda replenished the fridge, we were so on it, we completed the task earlier than expected. Brilliant session.

Today, I assisted the Borough Pantry volunteer team with unloading, sorting and packing food donations.

Today I joined a team of volunteers unload, unpack and replenish stocks at Borough food pantry. It was an enjoyable 2 hour session from 10.30am to 12.30pm

Waited an hour before the delivery came and then used the second hour to unload and pack the veggies and fruits into crates and onto the shelves.

Met up with an old school friend for lunch who works in the area so it was an obvious logical next step to help out here to stay away from my desk for a bit longer. They were unloading new stock from a Felix Project van when I arrived so helped with some lifting. I then had to quality inspect some carrots and cabbages for a bit and present them neatly to go on the shelves. Final task was to unbox longer life projects which I am demonstrating in the photos (totally not staged!). Had a really nice chat with two regular volunteers and really appreciated the tea. Planning to go back when I next have time in the new year.

I joined Clive and some of the wonderful volunteers at BFC cleaning, chopping and rotating existing stock before the afternoon delivery.

This was slightly less efficient as usual given that my baby boy woke up the moment we arrived and decided he wanted to be part of the action, and as such was strapped to my chest throughout. The extra pair of tiny hands were gratefully recieved, making him the youngest volunteer they've had to date at just 9 weeks old!
