Six Good Gymmers attended the All Saints Foodbank today. After making up lots a crates in preparation we were asked to test a new change to the process to help reduce the number of swaps and returns that happen each week. Instead of standard crates, the foodbank customers were asked to state their preferences against a set list, this resulted in some logistical issues out back in the store cupboard but we gradually got into the flow!

Out front, Lucy covered the weigh-in desk and sorted out some tech issues with the weighing machine, and Fiona was on the front desk. Pat was on the teas and coffees.

Four Good Gymers assisted at the All Saints foodbank session. Today the usual crates of dry and tinned foodstuffs were topped up with the addition of some fresh carrots 🥕 🥕 🥕. After a few latecomers the final packs were made up and the hall cleared and cleaned ready for next week.

The foodbank drew to a close and the main hall was cleared away for next time, while the food cupboard was given a quick hoover!

Today's foodbank customers were quick in the door as the rain poured down outside. It was a moderately busy session with Rob, Richard and myself out back in the store cupboard, while Pat was busy in the kitchen, and Fiona on the front desk. It was good to meet India today who was serving hot drinks on the cakes table.

There were a few requests for any spare umbrellas on the way out! ☔

Chairs stacked, tables cleaned, dishes washed and all put away
