57 varieties at Stretford Foodbank!

Last night our crack team of GoodGymers ran to Stretford FoodBank to complete no less than five tasks to help sort food donations and the storage facility!

We met as usual at St Matthews and welcomed some lovely newcomers to the team - well done and welcome to

Sarah

Lucy

Gemma

Once we had shared our news (well done and congrats to Katie, Nicola and yours truly) for clocking up 10, 10 and 30 Good Deeds respectively!) we warmed up (thanks to John for leading) and headed off with runners and a walking group too.

We arrived at the Foodbank storage facility and were briefed on our various tasks, Tracey leading a musical squat challenge as a diversion. Then we set to and achieved the following:

  • Removal of many cardboard boxes for recycling
  • Sorting of literally HUNDREDS of tins of beans into crates and date order
  • Sorting and moving toiletries
  • Tidying and making space in another room for more storage
  • Disassembling and packing a van full of old furniture for taking to the tip.

MASSIVE WELL DONE ALL!

Once we'd completed our tasks we said our goodbyes and ran back to base feeling pretty chuffed with our efforts!
