Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Steve Lee
Today was a gorgeous sunny afternoon, making the weekly bicycle deliveries of groceries for the RingCross Community Centre food bank a real pleasure. It's been a really great habit to get Friday work finished early, head out to the food bank and round the week off with a spin.
Olivia and Steve were our small but determined team today, and quickly shared out the neatly organised crates of food to be delivered. The wider team of volunteers running the food bank throughout the day are really friendly and thankful for the extra GoodGym support, which lightens their load and helps keep us fit too.
Navigating the streets with bicycle pannier bags, Olivia and Steve made short work of the list of recipients. They were given warm welcomes on delivery, and even some free surplus bread donated late in the day by a local bakery!
This mission runs at least once a week, and if you have a bike and some capacity to ferry around a few bags of groceries, we’re always glad to see more GoodGymmers signed up!
