Two fold GGR celebtations at Frenford Food Bank today. Our hardworking regular Ed qualified for his 100 Tshirt and our founder member Peter had done just over 800 tasks, no T-shirt for that one but definitely an achievement worth noting. The traditional GGR banner was suitably amended, sadly Colin the 🐛 was unavailable but with the usual GGR innovation a self assembly version was acquired and Gary the Grub was born 😁

With four of us off loading the supermarket delivery with help from 2 Friends of Frenford we soon moved on to switching the easter eggs storage round with the pasta, date checking the biscuits and re-stocking packages that had not been collected. After a quick tidy up we were ready for a slice of Gary

It seems that Linda and Bernadette missed the photographer's lens this week. So we've included a couple of old ones so you don't miss our drop dead gorgeous looks 😊

So lovely to have last minute sign ups Bernadette and Marie come to help Ed and Linda at Frenford food bank today. Relatively new additions Marie and Bernadette they are already invaluable members of the team. They joined in with super shelf stacker Ed, who was already working with a Frenford volunteer, unpacking two cages of donations and several supermarket delivery crates.

That job got finished in super quick time so the dynamic duo then joined Linda in labeling up the cages for the next picking and packing session, meanwhile Ed restocked the pasta shelves from the store room. Unfortunately moving the pasta uncovered evidence of the inevitable visitor one is likely to get with this kind of stock in storage 🐭💩. That's a little job for another day, next installment to follow tomorrow.

At first it seemed we were a little short on the ground at Frenford with just Peter, Ed and Linda on site ( we had three GGrs drop out yesterday) so we got straight on with setting up the session. Pretty soon a couple of volunteers from other groups turned up and got stuck straight in. We were then joined by Bernadette and would like to offer her a huge welcome to Good Gym Redbridge. Bernadette hit the ground running as soon as she got her coat off and provided invaluable help with picking and packing.

As usual everyone worked together playing to our various strengths and weaknesses and got the job done pretty much on time. The task owner has expressed his gratitude for all our hard work. 😊

Next Wednesday we will be restocking the shelves and off loading the usual donations.
