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.

197 GoodGymers have supported Vauxhall Foodbank with 416 tasks.

Scrambled Eggs Anyone?

Thursday 5th November

Written by Zaeem

On arrival to the centre, we packed eggs in multiple sized boxes for different sized families. The Felix project van arrived moments later wit a large delivery of fruit and veg which we promptly put away in the fridge. We then spent the rest of the session slicing squash and watermelon and wrapped them in cling film, ready for Friday's distribution. All in all good session and great work by everyone

Making a Splash at Vauxhall Gardens!

Friday 23rd October

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Despite the pouring rain, two Goodgymers braved the wet weather to help out at the Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank. Rain or shine, our commitment to community doesn't stop! Spirits remained high, especially when we met a customer rocking the ultimate waterproof setup, complete with a brilliant, handmade newspaper hat. A wonderful reminder that a bit of imagination and resourcefulness can brighten even the gloomiest Friday afternoon.

A Helping Hand at Vauxhall Gardens Foodbank

Friday 16th October

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

GoodGymers joined the brilliant core team at Vauxhall Gardens Foodbank, helping to serve and support the local community. With over 100 customers coming through, it was another busy session and a real team effort.

Distribution runs from 12 noon to 3pm, and it’s a huge job, so we ideally need volunteers who can stay for the whole session. If you’re free on one of the upcoming days, or have flexible working and can spare a few hours, your help would be very much appreciated.

Every extra pair of GoodGym hands really does make a difference.
