First things first, THANK YOU for turning out to make food bank deliveries tonight despite the dreadful weather. I hope you are all warm and dry now.
Secondly, I failed in my duties both as a group leader and a sister by not having cake tonight to celebrate Bethan's 100th Good Deed, which she did since last Wednesday. Double cake for everybody next week to make up for it! Well done also to Ruth and Alistair for getting to the 10 Good Deeds milestone. Warm welcome to Ariane who joined us for her first GG experience.
Tonight your efforts meant that:
40 food parcels were packed
32 food parcels were delivered by GoodGymers (the rest went by car with OMA volunteers)
which helped 56 adults plus several children and babies.
Here's some thanks from one of the recipients:
"Thank you so much for that food parcel you made up for me today,.... Perfect!! It shows you care.
You're a real life line for me.
Thanks again,
Your friend."
That's worth getting soggy for!
Big thanks to Tamasine for excellent work restocking and clearing up in the hall - the extra help inside was much appreciated.
