Yesterday was The Big Move when The Food Bank finally moved its office and storage facility off site from Milton Keynes Christian Centre to our new warehouse at Stacey Bushes.
Volunteers Claudia & Beth Payne students from Thornton College who are helping with The Food Bank as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme brought the brains, whilst "old" regulars Leon & Arnie (nothing to do with age - honest!) brought the brawn.
We quickly emptied the sea container into "Vicky" our new van, managing to do it in just one trip. What a joy it is to have a large vehicle for our use at any time and one that looks so good.
Team work is a great thing and by 4.30pm all the food that had been brought from the sea container had been sorted, put away in the correct place and also a complete stock check carried out. Not only was a lot achieved in the day but we had a great time doing it - thank you to everyone who took part.
