Helped stock the shelves at the borough food coop, to get the shop ready for visitors.

There were two GoodGymers, Elsie and Joel, and two volunteers from St George’s, Erina and Comfort. The food bank isn’t open on a Monday, so today was the day to take in new deliveries and get the shelves set up right. We sorted through veg, unpacked and stored donated food from supermarkets and the like, and filled the shelves ready for tomorrow. We got a second delivery and had time to unload that ready for the afternoon team to complete the job. All in all was simple but satisfying, nice to meet new people and the loading and unloading provided some physical effort to boot.

Was met by a few familiar faces, plus a couple new ones. A lot of vegitables needed sorting, which took up the majority of the time. See you again soon!

On a lovely Friday afternoon, two enthusiastic goodgym buddies volunteered to lend a hand at the borough food cooperative. We kicked things off by sorting the delivery, cleaning the yellow leaves from leek, arranging the eggs and then happily stacked empty crates for recycling and organized the cardboard boxes. After that, we got to label and pack the delicious beef and onion puffs, and wrapped up with a quick clean-up to leave the place spick and span!

On a Monday afternoon, two GoodGymers: Ally and Anna joined regular volunteers at Borough Food Co-operative for a session of sorting and stacking. It was Ally's first time at BFC and using GoodGym as a portal to do good. We helped to unload fruit and vegetable deliveries into crates ready for shoppers to collect when they open their doors tomorrow. We then packed up and labelled bags of sausage rolls and pasties. What a friendly and well-run place!

Emma, Abhishiek, Panicos and I enjoyed our volunteering session today at Borough Food Cooperative. We sorted and stocked a variety of fruits and veg to go on both sides of the room, lots of tomatoes and bananas especially. Some of us also sorted and stocked cereals and breakfast items into big containers. In the second half of the session we packaged and labelled bakery items and stored them away, we also flattened lots and lots of cardboard boxes that required a couple trips to the big recycling bins for a few of us! Great session :)
