Welcome to Sanjeev for your first GoodGym Manchester session!

This evening, we loaded up bags ๐ŸŽ’ with tins and other food items needed by Manchester South-Central foodbank for their winter parcels. It included:

  • tinned fruit ๐Ÿฅญ
  • tinned veg ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿฅ”
  • tinned tuna ๐ŸŸ
  • fruit juice ๐ŸŽ
  • UHT milk ๐Ÿฅ›
  • spaghetti ๐Ÿ
  • beans ๐Ÿซ˜
  • pasta sauce
  • cereal
  • tea & coffee โ˜•๏ธ
  • mince pies as a treat

Aided by the reverse advent calendar and their list, we did a pretty good job once we'd located the donation trolley.

With a much lighter load, the jog back via a Man Met campus was a bit smoother despite the heavy car traffic.

Great to see a new face and hope to see you again, Sanjeev!
