Report written by Catherine
Tonight we supported Cambridge City Foodbank through the valuable work of Your Party Youth Cambridge's mutual aid initiative.
It was a first task for Rafi and first task in Cambridge for Scott (formerly of GG Norwich) and it was a pleasure to welcome them to the crew ๐
We were all set for a warm, sunny session, but as the time came head out to the task, the grey skies darkened and the rain began. Channelling the GoodGym spirit, we persevered and ended up having a very lovely evening (as is the way with GoodGym) delivering donations and having a good chat.
Scott, Harriet and I met for a social run to the second meeting point in North Cambridge, where we picked up Ilse and Rafi to head around the corner where the donations were being stored. We were greeted by Eddie, a very motivational pooch, and seven crates of food and household items collected by YPYC at the weekend. Thanks to Rafi's VERY impressive Mary Poppins-esque travel bag, we were able to pack up about 5 of the 7 crates to take to the foodbank.
We took a speedy, weighted stroll across North Cambridge to deliver the goods to the warehouse. The walk was a perfect opportunity to chat about anything and everything including travels to Japan, death cleaning, conservation, the joys of working for a charity, and why Last one Laughing is just so good.
The foodbank volunteers were incredibly grateful as they had not been as busy as usual. With bags now empty, we positively flew back! ๐ช
A delight doing good, getting fit and staying connected with you all ๐
We meet the need for emergency and affordable food, and tackle the causes of poverty, by harnessing the power of the community.
