Helped organise and stack food crates ready for distribution at the H&F Foodbank. A well-run session with a friendly team, and great to contribute to supporting the local community.

“Everything went smoothly and efficiently. The team worked together with great organisation, cooperation, and positive energy to complete the pack-down quickly. It was rewarding to contribute to keeping the foodbank running and supporting people in our local community.”

It was well organised and easy to get stuck in. Tasks were clear and everyone was friendly and welcoming. While it wasn’t a big emotional experience for me personally, it felt good to contribute and help things run smoothly for the morning session.

Great I had great time

All hands were on deck for this morning’s mission. We had an hour to lay out the whole food bank, including:

• Setting up the waiting area (tables and chairs)

• Laying all food and products out on tables

• Organising all boxes ready to restock if needed.

Three newbie goodgymmers (inc myself) nailed the task in half hour! There was a real team effort here between us and the food bank team, and we were pleasantly surprised by the offer of panettone at the end.

Mission: Accomplished

A productive power hour indeed as I joined the team at St Simon's Church in Shepherd's Bush to help set up their foodbank. The time flew by as I put up tables, moved and unpacked crates and sorted items before finally marking up a whiteboard with information on today's product availability.
