No, not me in my 🎽 and 🩳. City Harvest had a lot of Nakd bars, so I and the 2 other volunteers on tonight were asked to fill the snack crate with roughly 40% Nakd bars.

This was my first time at City Harvest in 3 and a half years, since coming with GoodGym on a Community Mission in January 2020. It looked different to what I remembered and I found out that was because they'd moved to a larger unit in that time.

I had an induction, showing me around the different areas and explaining how they operate. Then I went straight into packing crates in the snack aisle. It felt pretty unhealthy as crisps, biscuits and protein bars were piled high onto a pallet. It was good to know that somewhere else, there were stacks of fruit and veg too that had already been portioned out.

After filling 3 pallets with mostly Nakd bars, I and the other volunteers were asked to sort through 8 boxes of ginger, remove anything that'd perished and move the rest into crates. With that done, we were told by the shift manager that bank holiday weekends were usually quiet and after just over an hour, we headed home.

I thought there were more Deliciously Ella than the Nakd bars. And welcome back

It looked like a new pallet full of Peanut Delight Nakd bars had arrived. There were loads of them
