This week Coventry GoodGym had a new opportunity to work with Coventry Food Network in their mission to keep Coventry’s kids occupied and with full tummies.
The task involved working alongside a team of volunteers packing the breakfast and activity boxes. Each box provides nutritious breakfasts for 5 days (including breakfast cereal, milk, fresh fruit and small toys) and will be delivered to various community centres and churches throughout the city.
Once we’d be been briefed about how to operate safely in the warehouse environment, we set about packing the boxes.
Amy proved herself to be an expert with the tape dispenser and so put her skills to great use constructing hundreds of cardboards boxes for the food. Lil and the tape dispenser didn’t really get along, but luckily, there was lots of choice about where you could lend a hand as there was lots of items to pack into the boxes and plenty to do.
We had a quick pit stop at lunchtime and were back to it in the afternoon. By the end of the shift, we had packed close to 500 boxes which were all promptly collected for delivery and distribution to those most in need. After a quick clean up job and and collapsing down card for recycling, we were done. We’re looking forward to supporting this vital service this summer.
