Matthew from Spreydon

Recycling Man’s - Fundraising Tour of the South Island for Delta Community Support Trust Food Bank.

I Started tomorrow afternoon to Ashburton and on Sunday to Oamaru. Everyday i'll up date and put photos of the cycle trip of end of the day. Thanks to everyone for your support and comment and prayers , Merry Christmas.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST TO YOUR FRIENDS AND GIVEALITTE TO DELTA COMMUNITY SUPPORT TRUST FOOD BANK www.givealittle.co.nz...

Delta Community Support Trust is most appreciative of Matthew’s offer to cycle around the South Island to raise awareness of food security issues among low income people.

Matthew regularly collects and provides canned food and other goods to Delta and other charities. This provides much needed support to people struggling to make ends meet. For more information about his work please see his Facebook page. www.facebook.com... and the following article. www.stuff.co.nz...

Delta is a Christian community development agency working in Richmond and surrounding suburbs. We use the food provided by Matthew to help feed people in need. We do this mainly through a Food Bank through which we distribute 1400 parcels a year, and a low cost community meal that provides 2800 two course dinners a year. We are a registered Charity (Charity Number CC21084) For more information about us please see www.deltatrust.org.nz...

If you could consider supporting us either through giving cans, or by cash that would be much appreciated. For the latter this is most easily done through our givealittle page www.givealittle.co.nz.... Please include the words ‘recyclingman’ with your donation.

Thanks again to Matthew for this huge effort to help people in need.

Thank you also so much for considering supporting us.
Yours Sincerely,
Ian Burn
Services Coordinator / CEO
