Vauxhall Foodbank

Our oldest and most popular task!
Vauxhall Foodbank provide short term food support to families and individuals in crisis. We help them out by sorting food collected from local supermarkets into categories and making sure it is correctly weighed. This task is the dream for all lovers of neatness and order. Feel the calm wash over you as all the tins get sorted and put away. The work we do here would take the voluntary staff hours to do by themselves. We get everything bang tidy in 20 mintes.

191 GoodGymers have supported Vauxhall Foodbank with 364 tasks.

Can-Do Crew: Packing Up for a Busy Foodbank Day 🥫💪

Friday 7th August

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Three GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC crew, unpacking deliveries, sorting donations, and getting the foodbank ship-shape before the 12pm opening. With plenty of can-do spirit, we helped keep the shelves stocked, the crates moving, and the food ready to roll for foodbank users to choose from during the session. 📦🥫

Small Delivery, Big GoodGym Energy

Thursday 6th August

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Today's Felix Project delivery was a bit lighter than usual, but there was still plenty to keep everyone busy. Two GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC team to unpack, sort and organise everything ready for Friday's food bank session from 12pm to 2pm. With less food to shift, there was more time for a chat and a laugh while getting everything in order. Thanks to everyone who mucked in. We're all set and ready to welcome the community on Friday.

Bread Duty with a Smile

Friday 31st July

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Distribution runs from 12 to 3pm, and we really need volunteers who can stay for the whole slot to keep things running smoothly. Our solo GoodGym volunteer stepped in today and took on bread duty like a pro, handing out loaves with plenty of appreciative comments from food bank users — from “No seeded bread today?” to “I can’t take the bread, I’ve got no butter” and the ever‑present “Is it in date.” It’s amazing what you hear when carbs take centre stage.

Food Bank Fun‑Run Set‑Up

Friday 31st July

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Our solo GoodGym volunteer really ran with it today, teaming up with the VGCC core crew to get the food bank set‑up sprinting along. They kept the pace strong from 9am, powering through crates and supplies like a relay champ and helping the whole operation hit its stride for distribution.
