It was a busy foodbank again today with 5 GoodGymmers on the task. Lucy, myself and Rob were out back making up the food parcels and toiletries non-stop and there was steady stream of food swap requests. Pat was working in the kitchen and Fiona was on the front desk. 24 food parcels were made up alongside 23 toiletry packs. Rob and Pat had disappeared before we had a chance to get the photo opportunity. Must get some snaps of them next time!

The cupboards were tidied and restocked, the kitchen crockery and utensils were cleaned and the main hall packed down and swept.

It was a glorious sunny day today as the foodbank doors opened. There was a steady flow of customers coming in and sampling the array of delicious cakes and a good few stacks if pancakes.

Richard was making up the food parcels and sorted out a minor dried spaghetti🍝 incident! Myself and Rob made up the toiletries. Lucy was on the swaps and Fiona reported a total of 25 parcels were made up.

We missed Pat this week but last week it had been Pat and Rob's 100th Good Deed! Congratulations to them both! 👏👏👏 (Photo including them both from last week included).

As the foodbank session drew to a close the re-stocks were noted, cupboards tidied and the chairs and tables were cleared away all ready for next time!

The Good Gym ladies were running the session at today's foodbank. Yvonne came in and took over the crate organising and packing in the cupboard while Lucy was guarding the swaps table. Fiona was on the front desk and I was out back packing toiletry requests. The soup, fruit salad and cakes on offer went down a storm as usual.

After today's foodbank the hall was cleared, tables and chairs packed away, washing up done and floor swept all ready to go again next week! 🧹☕🪑🥄

The GG team were on good form today as a steady line of customers came through the doors assisted by a newly appeared/replacement ramp! Due to half term there was an additional (junior) Rob assisting with the tickets as a runner saving our legs a bit. 🏃‍♂️. Lucy and Tracey worked on the weigh in swaps table, and Richard had the food cupboard flowing. Fiona was working diligently on the front desk. 👌

the tidying up and packing away was done in record time even though the last parcel wasn't finished until 12.20! Various team members had to leave and go back to work.
