What a lovely lot of volunteers we had signed up today. Welcome to our newest member Victoria (likes to be known as Tors) and to Sevan a more seasoned GoodGymmer who came all the way from Ealing to add Redbridge to his list of GG boroughs visited. Frenford Foodbank had been let down on deliveries with some supplies arriving late and others not turning up at all. Linda and Ed decided to forgo the task of having everything set up early to go in search of rice, 5 Supermarkets later they'd managed to "score" 84kgs and arrived 5 minutes late 🙈 to find other volunteers ready and waiting.
There was then a flurry of activity where things were put on shelves, cages shifted about, admin sorted and bagging station set up. We had the briefest instruction session and we were off finally doing the picking and packing we set out to do. As this was the last session before Easter chocolate eggs and other treats were added for families with children.
Despite the time used for other tasks before the packing we still managed to get 35 of the 57 packages done before most people needed to leave. Luckily a couple were able to stay on and finish the rest.
Good Job Everyone 🥳🤩

There really was a magnificent turn out at Frenford Food Bank today. Helena and Frenford volunteer Jan got started on sorting out our large stock of tea bags into date order. Peter got stuck into filling a mouse sized hole under the store room door, Michael's first job was refilling the pasta sauce shelves, Jason was helping Ed deal with the fruit shelf and Marie got on with organising the donations.
Everyone worked so well, by the time Linda had given the last person a task the first person was back asking "whats next?" they all only needed to be told once and did a fabulous job. Pretty soon the door was fixed stock sorted into date order and 2 cages of donations off loaded and shelved up.
Good Job GG Gang 😍

Marie Zikou cheered by other people 25 times.
Marie is part of a crowd that's making a huge noise. Marie has been cheered by 25 people - that's a round of applause just on their own. We hope they keep it up.

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.
