Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
5 local Goodgym folks joined us for our second Easter holiday evening delivery session at Elizabeth House Food Bank. Goodgym Islington have been leading a hand at this community centre throughout 2020, typically on Tuesday lunchtimes. However, the volunteer team set up a play scheme for families and children off school, changing our community mission timings to a couple of rare Monday evening sessions instead.
Our crew became part of a production line of volunteers making up bags and parcels of essential items and weekly shopping for local households. This week, every delivery included at least 1 pre-cooked meal from different restaurants in the area- offering delicious looking stews, noodles, salads and curries.
Within 45 minutes to an hour, our team were able to drop off every delivery across the whole of Islington, Arsenal and Finsbury Park areas. Smashing work everyone!
If you would like to get involved, we will be back again next Tuesday at 12.30pm (back to our original time slot). Sign up here: https://www.goodgym.org/happenings/elizabeth-house-foodbank-deliveries-dd59b9e0-a9e9-4996-b2aa-451522177596
