Stats for June 2018
Sincerest thanks to all of our generous donors and sponsors who assisted us in the month of June.
Our food rescue volunteers who work 7 days a week were able to rescue and redistribute over 14.1 tons of food to local foodbanks and other partner agencies with whom we have a service contract with.
Our warehouse volunteers boxed up and distributed 261 banana boxes full of clothing, curtains, footwear, homewares and linen. Then furniture and whiteware on top.
All of this stock assisted over 3,000 people.
We were also presented by the Hon Peeni Henare the Minister for The Community And Voluntary Sector for the work that we do in reducing inequality.
