It's my first foodbank mission with Ealing Foodbank where I'm on the receiving end. I'm collecting groceries on behalf of Mr.K who couldn't carry heavy weights for long distances due to a condition in his lung.

I've reached the St.Mellitus Church at 10:00 hoping to be an early bird. But there was a long queue ahead of me. After 50 minutes, I presented the voucher and the lovely volunteers at the Foodbank helped me pick the food for Mr. K.

I had earlier called Mr.K to check if he has any preferences on his foodbank parcel.

I'll eat anything and everything - Mr.K

After filling two bags full of groceries, some of which I recognize from the lovely donations we've been doing on a monthly basis, I went to the fruit and bread section to fill the 3rd bag.

It was a nice workout for my arms and shoulders carrying the grocery back to Mr.K's house. I was looking back and forth when I reached the destination and I couldn't find the door no. There was an old person sitting outside a house with an open door. He asked me whether the bags I'm carrying is from Foodbank. I said yes and started walking. He told me to come inside. That's when I realized he was Mr. K.
