Tonight, 2 GoodGymer's combined with volunteers from Birmingham Central Foodbank to sort through donations.

It was Mel's first shift at the foodbank, but she took to it like a duck to water and immediately got stuck in with setting up the tables and with weighing the donations and noting where they had come from.

After weighing donations, we moved on to sorting and dating them. In particular, Mel and I dealt with a large amount of sweetcorn, orange squash and rice pudding (hence this week's pun). Once we had dated them and other items, we stacked them on the shelves in the main storage room and helped clean up.

It was a great shift and lovely to catch up with Leon and the volunteers from the foodbank, as well as being able to chat with Mel :)
