We certainly were on a roll at Frenford Food Bank this week. With one of the Supermarket deliveries not showing up and having a good number of volunteers we had finished the advertised task mega early 🥳.

The rest of time allocated was well used getting ahead of the game. Peter portioned up the tea bags, Helena and Michael regrouped the toilet rolls, Linda cut boards to use as crate lids, Ed sorted and dated the biscuits and AJ had a cup of tea...😂...thats not fair she actually made her self very useful reoganising shelves 😁.

A lot of worthwhile jobs done and we still finished a bit early. Nice work GGR.

It was a game of three parts at Frenford Foodbank today. We started off clearing out the store room so we could give it a much overdue spring clean. Ed moved on to counting up how much we had on the shelves so the task owner can put a supermarket order in. Helena got stuck in to putting the donations on the shelves.

Sending out a big welcome to Vicky who completed her first GGR mission today 🥳 Helena wasted no time in showing her the ropes and they both did a fabulous job.

Meanwhile Peter and Linda embarked on the task of bleaching down the shelves in the storeroom with the help of some soggy cloths and a temperamental pressure washer. It definitely looked and smelled a lot better out there by the time we were done.

Three good jobs done in one session. 🥳🥳🥳

There really was a magnificent turn out at Frenford Food Bank today. Helena and Frenford volunteer Jan got started on sorting out our large stock of tea bags into date order. Peter got stuck into filling a mouse sized hole under the store room door, Michael's first job was refilling the pasta sauce shelves, Jason was helping Ed deal with the fruit shelf and Marie got on with organising the donations.

Everyone worked so well, by the time Linda had given the last person a task the first person was back asking "whats next?" they all only needed to be told once and did a fabulous job. Pretty soon the door was fixed stock sorted into date order and 2 cages of donations off loaded and shelved up.

Good Job GG Gang 😍

How lovely that so many GGR members were available for a midweek morning session at Frenford Food Bank. With Kathryn, Peter, Jenny and Julia taking a break from their usual jobs and regulars Ed, Linda and AJ, seven of us got stuck into the packing lists for 57 food parcels to help local families. Then the phone kept ringing with local helpers offering to come along and it ended up with 14 of us. We were getting on so well we even had time for a little break midway for a cup of tea and a treat in honour of our Eds birthday today. Rested and refreshed we ploughed on finishing the job in good time for lunch. 🥳🥳🥳

Two fold GGR celebtations at Frenford Food Bank today. Our hardworking regular Ed qualified for his 100 Tshirt and our founder member Peter had done just over 800 tasks, no T-shirt for that one but definitely an achievement worth noting. The traditional GGR banner was suitably amended, sadly Colin the 🐛 was unavailable but with the usual GGR innovation a self assembly version was acquired and Gary the Grub was born 😁

With four of us off loading the supermarket delivery with help from 2 Friends of Frenford we soon moved on to switching the easter eggs storage round with the pasta, date checking the biscuits and re-stocking packages that had not been collected. After a quick tidy up we were ready for a slice of Gary

It seems that Linda and Bernadette missed the photographer's lens this week. So we've included a couple of old ones so you don't miss our drop dead gorgeous looks 😊

So lovely to have last minute sign ups Bernadette and Marie come to help Ed and Linda at Frenford food bank today. Relatively new additions Marie and Bernadette they are already invaluable members of the team. They joined in with super shelf stacker Ed, who was already working with a Frenford volunteer, unpacking two cages of donations and several supermarket delivery crates.

That job got finished in super quick time so the dynamic duo then joined Linda in labeling up the cages for the next picking and packing session, meanwhile Ed restocked the pasta shelves from the store room. Unfortunately moving the pasta uncovered evidence of the inevitable visitor one is likely to get with this kind of stock in storage 🐭💩. That's a little job for another day, next installment to follow tomorrow.
