With more cases of COVID-19 in the community, it’s possible you and your whānau will be exposed to the virus. Most fully vaccinated people, who get exposed, are likely to have a mild to moderate illness and will fully recover at home.

In case you or someone in your house tests positive and needs to isolate, have food, medications and supplies available. Make a plan with neighbours, friends or whānau to support each other.

Easy meals

Meals come in weekly orders of your choice. They are vacuum sealed and will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. All you do is go to your fridge, pick which meal you want and pop it in the microwave for 4 minutes. You also get desserts of your choice, and these are heated for 2 minutes, except for the cheese cake. Benefits are healthy appetizing meals, only a couple of dishes to wash, saving on water and electricity and time. I am hooked.
