Slowly Filling Up

I thought I would try and show some of the progress we have made over the last couple of months.  Our food storage warehouse required the most physical labour from our volunteers (and me).  The warehouse is, in actual fact, a converted single car garage that we have.  This garage had been unused for some time and only was used to store a small number of rarely used gardening tools (even though everyone at the chaplaincy loves gardening).  It was perfect for what our foodbank needed to get started.  Anyway, below are a few photos, showing the garage being modified and then filled with food.  None of this would have been possible of course if it wasn't for all the volunteers who helped build shelves and fill them with food.  We hope to have the whole thing full by the time we open in late September.  Cheers everyone!

Me, a bit too proud after we finished building four of them

Things are looking even better after our Food Drive in Tesco Extra Gorton
