Report written by Michael Welsh
Today, I and Tower Hamlets Goodgymmer Ceiling attended St.George The Martyr (SGM) Church in Borough to manage Friday's delivery of food items.
After an absence of six weeks of volunteering at St.George's, this was the first time attending the church on a Friday. Along with Adam of SGM, Ceiling and myself shelved all the items delivered. Among the items received today were carrots, cherries, crispbreads, potatoes and bread.
Then we prepared meals of Pasta and Arancini balls. Between the three of us, we managed to make over 50 meals. After completing this task, Adam offered me and Ceiling to take some of the nice Arancini balls home.
The food cooperative provides members with low cost food to help reduce food bills and tackle food insecurity. It also reuses surplus food to prevent food being thrown away.
