Easter contents for Food Together orders
This week leading up to Easter the $12 orders are expected to contain cabbage. onions, carrots, kiwifruit, apples and pears. Add in broccoli, potatoes, silverbeet and bananas for the $20 orders. The deal of the week is 2kg of apples for $3.50. You can order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz... or remember to get your order in by midday on Tuesday.
The lucky draw winner for the re-useable, recyclable Food Together bags were Tiffany and Pauline. Both customers were able to take their orders away in their new bags last week. There will be a similar draw this week for two more of these great bags if you place an order for Easter.
Please note we will be taking a break the following week in remembrance of Anzac day (25 April) which falls on our regular Thursday order day next week. So the next orders after this week will be on May 2nd. I will send out the contents for that week over the weekend 26-28 April.

59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
