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.

191 GoodGymers have supported Vauxhall Foodbank with 370 tasks.

Friday 14th August

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Two GoodGymers joined the VGCC core team to prep for the food bank session, doing their best to stay cool in the amber‑alert heat. The fans were giving it their all, we kept water close, and everyone pushed through a seriously sweaty afternoon. Even the fruit looked like it was melting.

Small Delivery, Big GoodGym Energy

Thursday 6th August

Written by Brenda SMITH (She/her)

Today's Felix Project delivery was a bit lighter than usual, but there was still plenty to keep everyone busy. Two GoodGym volunteers joined the VGCC team to unpack, sort and organise everything ready for Friday's food bank session from 12pm to 2pm. With less food to shift, there was more time for a chat and a laugh while getting everything in order. Thanks to everyone who mucked in. We're all set and ready to welcome the community on Friday.
