It was a beautiful day for our weekly visit to the East End Women's food bank at Building Futures East. Having helped out here quite a few times now, Richard, Michael and I thought we knew everything there was to know about the task, but we did encounter a few new concepts, such as a client with a peanut allergy, a client without an oven, an expected fridge delivery in the middle of the task in the middle of the packing area and a cracked pot noodle pot and split carton in one bag! But as they say, there's no point crying over spilt milk so we carried on regardless. Another new concept was Richard's plan to speed things up by packing two bags at once! So we packed 45 bags of cupboard food and moved over 100 bags of cupboard food, more than 100 bags of fresh food and dozens of bags of toiletries from the packing crates into the amazing delivery drivers' cars, ready to make their way to the people of Walker. As it happened, the fridge didn't arrive, which just goes to show, you can't bank on a fridge delivery but you can bank on GoodGym to cr-ate the food bags!
