The little problem of the supermarket cancelling Frenford FoodBank’s order didn’t stop us doing good things today.

While the task owner shot off to sort it out we off-loaded the Scouts donations, un-bagged a couple of non-collections, tidied up the odds and ends shelf and re-stacked biscuit mountain before it avalanched.

We couldn’t help but dance along to catchy music coming from the dance studio definitely ‘doing good while keeping fit’ going on at this session.

Whilst waiting for the task owner to report back we had a cheeky little break with a chatty catch-up, cup of tea and usual stale biscuit in honour of our AJ’s Birthday today.

Sadly it wasn't possible to get the supermarket delivery in before the end of the session but we still got quite a bit done.

After a few hiccups & delays it was finally coming together - Adams back has healed up enough to restart some sorting sessions!

So 6 Goodgymmers made their way to the Cornerstone Church, to find Adam sensibly employed a few helpers to get things ready for us, with the kids staying behind livening up the place with their energy.

As if there was no gap, the crew smoothly resumed the routine with James kindly explaining the details to Sabinah for whom it was the first time at the babybank.

Conversation flowed throughout so once again all bags got sorted before we even really noticed. Packing up didn't take too long either, leaving time for some more stories before saying our goodbyes to Adam and went out into the night.

What a lovely productive session that was.😊 Often there are just two of us on this regular task but luckily the stars were aligned and 5 of us were available for this midweek session. Not only did we get three cage loads of donations off loaded there was time to spare for extra shelf organising and filling plus a little stock taking in readiness for the next packing session. There was a slight "snackident" with some chocolates of an uncertain but as it turned out quite edible age and a little incident with some leaky Bovril 😬 but apart from that everything went very smoothly and efficiently. Well Done Everyone 🥳

Packing food in bags for collection and delivery, offloading the crate and stocking the shelves. We ran out of some food Helping to keep fit and exercise through helping and interacting with other volunteers met some volunteers today it was busy today but relaxing at the same time. I enjoyed some cake . The leaders made it welcoming for all and asked me to bring my sis in law again !!! Some food parcels were collected.

We helped to remove packed food items from the trolley, laid them out on the table, we checked for the dates and then we stacked them on the shelves ready for distribution. We also helped to tidy up the venue. We met other volunteers today and enjoyed the process and look forward to the next one. I was with my sister in law today.
