Super efficient team as always got the place spick and span in no time at all. dishes washed, chairs stacked and tables folded away. The stock room rodent proofed!

The volunteers rolled out 23 food parcels and the cafe was buzzing. Homemade broccoli and stilton soup, cakes galore and hot buttered crumpets. The final clothing selection for this food bank went well and there's not much to transfer to its new home.
Thanks to Yvonne for taking some splendid action shots and sorting the attendance list out

There were 8 GGers packing away today and it was like herding cats trying to get everyone together for a group photo. We nearly did, but we lost Pat!

... It knew how to find its inner peas!
There were 8 GGers helping out today, most of us out back making up the 13 parcels. Dave channeled his inner Katie with a Katie name badge, which was less confusing than a 3rd Rob! We were kept busy with lots of visitors for the cafe and lots of swaps. Chickpeas and washing up liquid were popular today.

After the food bank we all helped pack down and tidy up. Food shopping was reordered for next week. I’ve tried to make lid matching easier by adding stickers. 🐭🐸🐧🕷️🦁🐍

It was a busy day at the food bank 🥫, making up 30 parcels for our local residents. Lisa and Yvonne made the food parcels with help from new volunteer Matthew. Rob looked after toiletries. Lucy and Tracey helped on weighing and the swaps table. Pat helped in the cafe. Fiona on front desk. It was good to see quite a few new volunteers today. We were still kept very busy all morning.

This morning was full of festive fun! Firstly well done to Yvonne for wearing her ‘100’ wings!!!
Vicki, John & Sam were out the back making the food parcels up. Rob was on toiletries, Pat was front of house, Tracy was food swopping whilst Yvonne & Jane helped serve the lovely selection of refreshments.
It was a quieter week and just 15 parcels were given out.
There was lots of lovely presents donated which were given to children. A lovely warm coat that had been donated found a new home - a very happy customer!
