Gary had not go the message. So we went ahead and filled supermarket trolleys with shopping bags and filed past piles of food picking up an item of each for each bag. At the end of the line we unloaded the bags where other volunteers closed them and placed them in crates where they will be taken to 5 distribution centres in the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We actually did very little work and finished by 10 but we felt very virtuous. This was only the second time the GINs turned out for this, poor Gary does it most days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"490\" src=\"http:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101132-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101132-1.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101132-1-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101132-1-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Richard Wiley, his son Nial, Andrew Nievens, Gary Vannater, Paul Sochaczewski, Mark<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"490\" src=\"http:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101203-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101203-1.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101203-1-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ginclub.website\/home2\/gentsinnyon\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/20201112_101203-1-768x373.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>The food stations, we start at the shopping trolleys at the far end<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of GIN members assembled at Palexpo halle 7 on Thursday November 11 to assist Gary with his volunteer work.
