Feeding bellies not bins with The Real Junk Food Project: Sheffield
15 GoodGymers made their way 3km to help the The Real Junk Food Project: Sheffield in Sheffield.
- Monday, 28th of August 2017
- Led by Tom Mutton
15 FANTASTIC @GGSheff runners ran 3km to help put up shelves and power wash a floor for The Real Junk Food Project (TRJFP).
After listening to a touch of cultured Jazz at base and welcoming DANGEROUS DAVE back from Manchester to save his streak for the month we headed off to a new task for this week to go and help TRJFP.
With a run to a new part of town, the excitement in the team was palpable! On arrival to TRJFP we were very professionally welcomed by the fantastic staff and volunteers that help to keep TRJFP up and running on a day to day.
AWESOME ALICE gave us some great info on TRJFP and told us the task for the eve, how many people each task needed and what to watch out for.
The teams consisted of:
- TEAM POWERWASH
- TEAM BIG SHELF
- TEAM SMALL SHELF
At the end of our time the floor was given a new lease of life and the warehouse had two new rows of shelving for TRJFP to use on an ongoing basis which they would not have had any time to put up. GREAT JOB TEAM!
After learning a little more about TRJFP, the Sharehouse market and the cafe's we grabbed some intercepted sustenance and said our goodbyes until next time.
On the way back we chucked in some Park Hill box jumps followed by some paired hill sprints to finish.
It was a hot one, so following stretching we headed into the Showroom and replaced some liquids and laughs before parting ways until next week.
