Have you heard about Perfectly Imperfect cheap fruit and veges?

Susan from Mount Eden

Hiya, first - Perfectly Imperfect is a non profit which gleans or receives fruit and veg which supermarkets don't accept- too small, too big, too weird.

www.facebook.com...
or there's an interview on RNZ and an article in the NZ Herald if you want
to research it

They sell these mystery boxes of fruit and veg (a decent amount) for $26 a box which can be delivered for around $10 weekly. I'd guess the amount in the box would be $60 to $80 worth at a supermarket
For every 4 boxes sold a family who can't afford it gets a free one.
Anyway follow the link above for the details, the thing is they were doing a pop up on Friday afternoons at Gribblehurst Community Hub outside but its grown too much so they're looking for a space in our area maybe 4 days a week to set up a wee shop, cheap or free. Does anyone know of such a thing?

If you do, you can message me or contact them directly through the Facebook page above, thanks everybody!
