Hot dogs and hair nets...GoodGym Coventry is about getting fit and serving food!
9 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help the Langar Aid in Coventry.
- Tuesday, 6th of August 2019
- Led by Deb
After being warmly welcomed by the team at LangarAid, eight GoodGym community mission runners were put straight to work as the meal starts at 6pm and there was lots to prepare!
Before any food preparation could start, we put on hairnets and gloves. Hairnets and running gear is a new look for us - but one that suits us well!
Our first tasks were to prepare cheese batches (rolls/cobs), toast bagels and unwrap and dish out cakes, snacks, fruit and vegetables. We then took up our stations, with GoodGymmers serving food, making tea and coffee, providing cutlery and condiments, serving drinks and chatting to service users, who were intrigued by the new volunteers in bright red t-shirts.
Once everyone had finished their meals, we supported the LangarAid team to tidy up by wiping down tables, sweeping floors and stacking chairs. It was a busy evening according to the regular volunteers, and before we knew it, it was time to pose for a quick photo or two in our hair nets before re-joining the group who had been gardening and litterpicking.
