3 GoodGymmers helped to raise awareness of Loughborough Area Foodbank with Trussel Trust. Holding the Fort of the food donations trolley, engaging with customers and giving out leaflets.
The New Life Community Church provide the foodbank service to help those in need.
The first 45 minutes the trolley for donations was empty, it was a sorry sight.
All of a sudden the customers who had taken a leaflet from us on their way in, were finishing their shopping with items to donate to the charity. We couldn't believe the generosity of Morrisons customers, I think it did help that Dawn knew half the people going in as she works at the store when she is not volunteering with GoodGym.
Shout out to Nick and Dawn both completing double tasks today after gardening in the sun this morning, standing in Morrisons foyer was very refreshing this afternoon. Weldone team.
