Super-efficient morning at the South Ealing Community Food Cupboard. The delivery van arrived right on time allowing GoodGymers Katy, Martin and Alan to dive straight into helping the regular volunteers to unload crates of apples, carrots, cabbages, potatoes, mango chunks, milk, juice and many other goodies. The haul differs every week depending on the season and this week included lots of venison - although rumours of its Richmond Park provenance could not be confirmed.

Katy then took on the task of wrapping chicken pies in individual bags which Alan then put on display in the chiller unit. The GoodGym trio also helped carry out quality control on crates of limes, with Martin and Katy taking away the brown or squashy ones.

A few final touches around the room and the food was all neatly shelved ready for distribution.

South Ealing Community Food Cupboard
The SEC Food Cupboard will offer good quality surplus food items to anyone who would like to come and collect them for their personal use.

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.
