Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)
A regular GoodGym volunteer joined the VGCC core team to help prepare for Friday’s food bank session, receiving, sorting and packing donations with plenty on their plate. There were so many onions to give away it was hard not to cry, but the team carrot-ed on regardless, never beet-ing around the bush when there was work to be done. From bagging up essentials to keeping stocks in mint condition, everyone chipped in to make sure the session ran butter-smooth. It was a grape example of community spirit, with volunteers proving they’re the cream of the crop, tackling every task with relish and helping ensure local residents could put food on the table. In the end, nobody loafed around, and the whole effort was simply egg-cellent.
Vauxhall Foodbank provide short term food support to families and individuals in crisis. We help them out by sorting food collected from local supermarkets into categories and making sure it is correctly weighed. This task is the dream for all lovers of neatness and order. Feel the calm wash over you as all the tins get sorted and put away. The work we do here would take the voluntary staff hours to do by themselves. We get everything bang tidy in 20 mintes.
