Give a little bit... Give a little bit of Junk Food to you.

The guys at The Real Junk Food Project have set themselves a mammoth task of delivering Boxes of Kindness to the people of West Yorkshire for Christmas. The TRJFP elves have been sorting through food rescued from landfill and sorting it into boxes of joy to be delivered to people who have requested one or have been nomint for one by a friend. Households with children even get a gift wrapped present! After signing up with TRJFP to help out, we received an instructional video about how to stay COVID safe at the Kindness Warehouse before our arrival with the car which which was piled up with boxes of goodies. We were given a little introduction to the cause and sent on our way with a list of addresses and trusty Google Maps to guide us. We were surprised whilst out on delivery that some people were not expecting a box. We hid a few boxes in a dry spots to be discovered later, left another with a kindly neighbour and were sadly turned away by another, but the rest were so happy to receive their box of goodies! After about an hour and a half of pretending to be Santa we returned to the warehouse to give back our TRJFP hi-vis. There are plenty of boxes left to be delivered and we will certainly be back again to help out one way or another. Great organisation, great cause- sustainable and sociable, and a lovely bunch of volunteers.
