It was a good day, even though there weren't many donations this week, but everyone was able to take some food home.

Today two goodgymers assisted the VGCC foodbank volunteers prepare for the foodbank service on Friday from 12pm to 2pm, by cutting up vegetables as well as unloading and sorting food deliveries.

Today I assisted the Vauxhall Gardens Comm-Unity Centre foodbank in serving Lambeth residents who were very appreciative

Today we had 3 goodgymers, one of us has completed over 100 deeds, another over 50 deeds and one doing their first ever deed. Wow. We all helped the volunteer team at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre prepare for tomorrows foodbank. Amazing teamwork.

It was a 🌞 17-degree day at VGCC as 3 GG-ers kicked off by unloading 2 huge deliveries packed with crates of fruit, veg, milk, bread, snacks, cheesecake, protein bars and meat.

🥔🧅 Once everything was inside, we quality checked onions and potatoes for crate-mixing before safely storing them. Jessica wasted no time in splitting a massive sack of penne pasta into various smaller, equally weighed bags. Susan and Chandrima tackled various packets of chicken, dividing the packets into smaller portions of 11 pieces, carefully labelling halal and non-halal meat before storing it safely in the freezer.🐔

🥛🧀 We also made sure all the milk, cheese and yoghurt were stowed away in chilled storage, crate-mixed the protein bars 💪 and crisps, quality checked the fruits (bananas and raspberries) before their safe storage, then finished up by cleaning down every surface and breaking down the cardboard boxes for recycling so the space was spotless and ready for the next session! 🧽♻️

There is no greater feeling than standing shoulder to shoulder with people who care. Today, thanks to 6 amazing GoodGymers and the tireless VGCC team, we were able to serve our community with speed and a smile. It’s more than just a meal, it’s about making sure everyone feels seen and cared for. We are endlessly grateful for this family!
