Foodbank Christmas Food Drive - Bell Block needs boxes!
The Bell Block and Districts Lions do a wonderful job each each running the Bell Block section of the New Plymouth Community Foodbank Christmas Food Drive. This year they are short on boxes for putting the food in on Monday 3rd December.
If you have spare boxes (preferably banana boxes) please get in touch with us and we can let you know where to take them.
Thank you!
