Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Linda Gatley
Three GoodGymers spent a cheerful hour helping a couple of regular volunteers with unloading deliveries ready for the next day’s opening period at the Borough Food Cooperative, which works to redistribute otherwise wasted produce. There was less donated stock than usual so after stacking shelves with parsnips, apples, bananas and other fresh goodies, Clare, Julianna and Linda had time to help sort packaging for recycling. The session was a first experience at this task for each of us – hopefully we will return!
The food cooperative provides members with low cost food to help reduce food bills and tackle food insecurity. It also reuses surplus food to prevent food being thrown away.
