Did you know that together with @LivingPlatform @LambethFood @brixtonsoupkitchen @BrixtonPK and @PedalMe we& #39;re distributing hundreds of food parcels a day to people in need? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌" title="Raising hands" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">

It& #39;s a huge operation - so we thought we& #39;d take you inside.. Ready? Let& #39;s gohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📽️" title="Film projector" aria-label="Emoji: Film projector">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Right pointing backhand index" aria-label="Emoji: Right pointing backhand index">

We& #39;re buying fresh fruit, veg & other essentials wholesale, so every day we get lots of deliverieshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥕" title="Carrot" aria-label="Emoji: Carrot">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍎" title="Red apple" aria-label="Emoji: Red apple">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚛" title="Articulated lorry" aria-label="Emoji: Articulated lorry">

It& #39;s not easy bringing the pallets off the trucks & down into the rec, but luckily Matt who usually works in housing used to be a warehouseman, so we& #39;re in safe hands!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💪" title="Flexed biceps" aria-label="Emoji: Flexed biceps">

Once we& #39;ve got the big delivery in, it& #39;s broken down & taken through to the main hall where it& #39;s picked and sorted into parcels with a good balance of all the essentialshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📦" title="Package" aria-label="Emoji: Package">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧻" title="Roll of paper" aria-label="Emoji: Roll of paper">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍐" title="Pear" aria-label="Emoji: Pear">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥫" title="Canned food" aria-label="Emoji: Canned food">

It& #39;s a real production line in here! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😎" title="Smiling face with sunglasses" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with sunglasses">. There are stations for different types of food and essentials, each volunteer bags up a selection and then another volunteer moves along the line, filling up a crate ready to be distributed https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋‍♀️" title="Happy woman raising one hand" aria-label="Emoji: Happy woman raising one hand">

Chantelle is putting together bags of store cupboard essentials like canned food https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥫" title="Canned food" aria-label="Emoji: Canned food">, bread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍞" title="Bread" aria-label="Emoji: Bread">and cereal. She& #39;s producing about 20-30 bags https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛍️" title="Shopping bags" aria-label="Emoji: Shopping bags">every 10 minutes! That& #39;s pretty impressive https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Clapping hands sign" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign">

For the next stage, we needed a hand, so we got council leader @CllrJackHopkins_Lab down to help out https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌" title="Raising hands" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands">. Here he is working down the line and telling us a bit more about the processhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😃" title="Smiling face with open mouth" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth">

We& #39;ll pause here for a moment to thank one of the people who made all this happen https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face">. She& #39;s called @SueShean she founded @LivingPlatform and @LambethFood and she& #39;s managing the hub here at the rec - we couldn& #39;t do this without you Sue! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart">

Right, once all the food is parcelled up it& #39;s time to get it out to the people who need it! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌" title="Raising hands" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands">.

We spoke to Chris one of the directors to find out how they& #39;ve used their tech and delivery know-how to scale up deliveries to more than 400 a dayhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🏋️‍♀️" title="Woman lifting weights" aria-label="Emoji: Woman lifting weights">

We want to end this with a huge thank you to all the people involved in running the hubs. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Clapping hands sign" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Party popper" aria-label="Emoji: Party popper">
