It was great to be invited to have breakfast with #The grumpy old men’s breakfast club at #thepenventonhotel . Teresa who is Gleaning Cornwalls Logistics Queen and Jeni, Miss boots on the ground joined this fantastic group of chaps to drum up some volunteer drivers and field volunteers. It was such a joy to see so many guys all chatting and enjoying company. Many of the chaps we spoke with were retired and or had lost their wives, found coming together as a group to be really rewarding. Volunteering is such a fantastic way to make new friends, be part of the community and have a rewarding experience. If you can help us by becoming a volunteer DRIVER help with FUNDRAISING, or be a field veg gatherer then drop us a message…. We look forward to meeting you. #gleaning #drivers #community #social #friendship#fields #veggies #helpothers
