Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by John Shirley
Six socially-distanced GoodGymers ran, walked and cycled to assist task-owner Abi at the City Church foodbank in Camden Town. Sree and Leo came more than 8km from Tower Hamlets.
There were two tasks - John no. 1 joined Sree and Sam upstairs, sorting donations into categories. One floor down, John no. 2, Rachel and Leo divided numerous packets of pasta by sell-by date, helped by the upstairs crew after they finished their own task in lightning-quick time.
When checking the sell-by date, It was important to remember what year we are already in. One GoodGymer clearly doesn't want to leave 2020 behind, forgetting that year is now gone if never forgotten.
Those who didn't have to rush off, remained past the finish time, as we were determined to sort out every last box of pasta. When we all eventually headed home, we'd seen enough pasta for one day and decided to skip the mac-and-cheese lunch.
