Saturday 8th February
Report written by Harvey Gallagher (he/him)
The winter can be a tough time for families who need the help of their local foodbank. The amazing volunteers of Ealing Foodbank do an amazing job but they always need more food donations.
So we partnered with We Run Ealing to hold our own west London version of the national Foodbank Run. A bunch of GoodGym folk and Ealing runners packed our backpacks with items from Ealing Foodbank’s February's Foodbank list and headed off to Gunnersbury parkrun.
After running, walking and volunteering at parkrun, we set off for Ealing Foodbank, some running, some run-walking, some walking. We dropped off our food donations, smiled for a group photo and retired to Momentum Coffee up the road for fantastic coffee and scrumptious cake, a job well done!
We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.
