2 GoodGymers dove right in to a productive session at Borough Food Co-op. J and Chandrima sorted 8 crates of miscellaneous veggies (chives, cabbages, corn, aubergines, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, and yam), salad boxes, and fruits (lemons, oranges, bananas, apples, pears, and plums) —into dedicated crates for each item, with some stored safely in the veggie freezer, alongside a thorough quality check for tomorrow’s food bank. 🥬🌽

Next up, they sorted 6 miscellaneous boxes of pantry staples—lentils, chickpeas, red kidney beans, cannelloni beans, finely chopped tomatoes and rice—onto neatly stocked shelves.🫘🍚

All 7 refrigerator and freezer temperatures were accurately recorded to ensure everything stayed fresh. Chandrima carefully divided massive cartons of eggs into safe 6-packs, then J meticulously cleaned all the crates for the next session. ♻️ The team wrapped up by breaking down cardboard boxes for recycling, sweeping the floors, and wiping down surfaces to leave everything spotless. ✨
