The Corona Chronicles - Foodbanks United!


Our BD Food Network has been a resounding success with likeminded and real grassroots community activists coming together to serve the neighbourhood with great gusto and zeal.

I’m really enjoying working with inspirational people and it is taking my own development up a few levels.

So thanks to Humdum Foodbank, the Hedgecock Community Centre Foodbank were able to collect this rather large consignment of bread and vegetables which will go out to our recipients this weekend.

It’s Eid weekend so things will be very jolly and festive in nature over the course of the next few days.

Nighat has delicious hot Kebab Roti tomorrow and Eid gifts for Humdum and also Hedgecock to distribute.

With the end of Ramadan and Eid celebration weekend 24 hours away it remains without saying that our collective services will remain open and we will be visiting our recipients with their foodpacks as standard.

Thanks to Pastor Obi (Barking Foodbank amongst other things) for the gloves.

Two foodpacks today and two medicine drops too.

Also stopped at Humdum Foodbank to collect a rucksack full of loafs of bread and ended up having to bring the cavalry over to collect all the surplus stock.

Stopped over to see Mosh and check that he really is working from home. Got my Eid pressie too - I can’t say what it is though.

I went out for a light 5K and ended up with almost 15k!

I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the volunteers who continue to give up their time for the common good.

As a reward you get to sort out all this stock and prepare for delivery.

Don’t say I don’t look after you!

On this note members of the #bdfoodnetwork would like to wish Eid Mubarak to one and all. 

May the spirit of Ramadan remain true within our lives, throughout the year. May we continue to stay strong and united as we work towards a people focussed legacy as we strive to deliver on our pursuits.
