Saturday morning session at The Felix Project's Poplar depot

Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
This session will now be taking place from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
The Felix Project collects surplus food from food retailers and wholesalers, and redistributes it to charities and schools that provide food for those in need. The operation has 4 depots in London and delivers around 4 tonnes of food each day with the help of 400 volunteers.
The team are keen to have as many GoodGymers join their Saturday Tower Hamlets sessions as possible!
What this involves
This task will be overseen by the Felix Project team, who are very familiar with volunteers.
Activity will include: checking ‘use by’ and ‘best before’ dates; categorising and recording food; assembling food orders placed by charity and community groups. You may also be based outside in the warehouse.
(Read how Abie and other GoodGymers got on recently here).
We have listed these sessions in two-hour time slots as this is the minimum time commitment, but you are welcome to stay longer.
Feel free to take a few pics and scribble a few lines for a run report (we'd love to see how you got on, and we'll aim to include it in our weekly email :) )
I oversee this task, but will not be there on the day. Any issues or questions, don't hesitate to get in contact: laura@goodgym.org - Laura
Regular GoodGymer Lobo also volunteers at the depot most Saturdays, so any problems, you can also ask for him while on-site.
