She/her
I was asked to take a delivery of groceries and cleaning products to FoodCycle today. Then once again I got the call to help out with food collection for the FoodCycle session this afternoon. There was anew volunteer on collection duty but I'd been asked if I would meet her at Sainsbury's to introduce her to the relevant staff members and show her the ropes. I waited near the pick up point but she was unfortunately delayed. There wasn't too much food to collect but once again there were dozens of bouquets of flowers which although not much use for eating, would provide a nice gift for our guests. I filled a couple of Ikea bags full of blooms, leaving the food for Kate to collect later. On arrival at the church there was no one else around, so I had to muster my own strength to carry the bags of food, tins of tomatoes and boxes of cleaning products inside. But I knew that later both the food and the flowers would be well appreciated by the volunteer teams, and the guests.
