Vauxhall Foodbank

Our oldest and most popular task!
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.

140 GoodGymers have supported Vauxhall Foodbank with 134 tasks.

Inspite of a delayed train, I arrived at the same time as the delivery van, packed spaghetti alongside another volunteering and stored perishables in the fridge followed by a arm cup of tea. Another great visit at VGCC.

It was nice to be back at VCG, delivery was early this time but there wasn't much so we sorted what we could, portioned mac and cheese and artisan bread. Then had a well deserved cup of tea.

The delivery driver was late so we occupied ourselves with cutting cheese (not a euphemism) and wrapping them in cling film then promptly u loaded the truck on arrival and sorted and stored fresh produce in the fridge. Good session as usual.

Sort it out!

Thursday 19th September

Written by Zaeem

I arrived at the location earlier than planned and got to chat with the person who runs the foodbank, he showed me around the premises and got me started on a sorting task. I also met a fellow volunteer who is a regular at this location and she helped me with my tasks. We helped unload the delivery van, sorted items in crates, took them to storage and to the fridge and prepped washing liquid bags, all ready for the next day. It was a friendly atmosphere and we got a lot done, I hope to go there again.
