Three of us arrived at Frenford Food Bank to shelve up two supermarket deliveies. The items arrived muddled up within the crates so there was a little presorting which was soon completed and the items were trundled down to the shelves.

It's not the first time that the three of us have done this and the dream team were done in no time with nice tidy shelves of cans and other goods.

Empty crates were cleared away and we were off home for an early lunch.

As the title says.....

Ed was at his usual spot guarding the car park. Peter handed out finish tokens.

Linda & Kathryn ran round and got picked up by the photographer(s)

Three Good Gymmers came to restock and stock take at Frenford Food Bank. We moved packages from the cages yo places that were now vacant on the static shelves. Linda and Addie brought in some new stock and a container for the dontated sugar from the storage out back while Ed put the cages away.

Half way through Addie presented Linda with some cookies that she had kindly made for Linda's Birthday. Luckily Linda's age is no secret, not only were the shape of the cookies advertising it, Addie kindly accompanied the presentation with a loud blast of The Beatles When I'm 64! 😂

Totting up whats left on the shelves is a breeze when theres three of you. We were finished in no time and the info passed to a grateful task owner.

Three of us cleared old bulb leaves and some weeds to make way for half a dozen petunias which were pot bound and overdue for planting out. Ed and Linda would usually take care of the Bernard Close community gardening project on their own and were very grateful for the addition of Addie whose energy, enthusiasm for the job, good knowledge of gardening and lively chatter made a chore into a pleasure.

6 of us helped out at Frenford Foodbank today. Eddie and Linda set up and got started with the picking and packing, followed by Peter and Natalie who got stuck straight in. 4 helpers from friends of Frenford also pitched in and the usual convivial, jostling and bantering took place in the hustle and bustle of the narrow shelving area.

Everyone there were old hands at the job and despite a few issues with incorrect shelf labeling we were done in no time. Addie had had problems with transport and Louise had intended to join us for the last hour so both turned up just as we were packing up. We wanted to take advantage of their fresh energy and eagerness to help so got them tidying up the shelves and sorting out the relabeling.

Amazing that people take time out of their busy lives to help out. Well done all of us.
