Schools started and everyone’s back to their routine. Thankfully part of our routine was making an impact in the community. Volunteers packaged loads of grocery bags for families, including distributing mammoth bags of rice! Our snack bags were jam packed full of fresh apple slices to help with the autumn feeling that’s fallen on London. Clothes were sorted and a delicious pasta and meatball dish was cooked for the hot takeaway service. More and more people joined as the night went on and this was another successful team effort by all volunteers!

Volunteers prepared takeaway bags full of nature’s bounty (Fresh fruits and veggies). They made great headway sorting and labeling an assortment of donated clothes for the homeless. In the background, the team in the kitchen made a delicious smelling Cottage Pie for the hot meal takeaway service. Everyone was productive and took advantage of the chance to help out!

Bank Holiday Monday and 4 goodgymers checked in at the Salvation Army Hall for the Ealing Soup Kitchen takeaway service. We welcomed Naomi her 1st mission: welcome 🙌🎉. Usual tasks of setting up tables and preparing snack and grocery bags by the team with a twist of tasting sweets ...quality street sweets 😋. Think we all needed some sugar and enjoyed the sweet treats Emma allowd us to have as the quality test needed to be done before putting them in the bags. Plenty of bread 🍞, flat sausages, desserts, fruit and pasta to be given to the guests. Tuna Pasta bake on the menu with the veggie option. Clothes also needed to be sorted and labelled.
