Report written by Beata (she/her)
Not even the severe weather conditions could stop 3 GoodGymmers (Mr.Afsar, Martin and Beata) to attend their mission @ South Ealing Community Food Cupboard this morning. Despite the rain and strong winds Beata thought it was a good idea to walk to the task, and nearly turned around due to getting completely soaked by a hail shower. Luckily, she wasn't ready to give up so easily. Mr. Afsar was already waiting at the church when she arrived. Both being relatively new to GoodGym, happily exchanged their experiences about the amazing work they get to do for the community. While they were waiting for the van to arrive, Mr. Aksar proudly shown the photos taken during the previous task he attended @Horsenden farm. After a short wait the van arrived and they started unloading the groceries. With the help of the church staff, they managed to move the delivery inside so quick that they got time to unpack three boxes of sausage rolls into small freezer bags as well! At the end of the shift Mr. Afsar planned to stay and see the church inside, Beata run home to get out of the drenched good gym uniform as soon as possible.
The SEC Food Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste. A group of local volunteers receives/collects surplus food from the supermarkets (Eg via Felix Project) and makes it available to anyone and everyone from the local area. The SEC Food Cupboard is available to all – its aim is purely to reduce waste and everyone can help with that. Always Free! The selection of food items each week will vary according to what is surplus food on that day.
