The PICKERS
🌱 As the Season Turns, So Does the Harvest 🌱
With the change in seasons, your garden may be overflowing with different produce - think juicy tomatoes, crisp beans, refreshing cucumbers, or vibrant courgettes. 🍅🥒🌱
If you have surplus, why not donate it? Our community food banks will be incredibly grateful for your generosity, especially as the need for support continues to rise. 💚
Every contribution, big or small, helps nourish those in need. Let’s come together to make a difference this season!
BOOK a Pick and Pick Up and we will visit free and repurpose and redistribute your generous donation.

🎁 Share the Joy This Christmas! 🎁
This festive season, let's make it special for children in our community. If you'd like to donate a new gift for a child, we would be honored to pick it up and deliver it to the Hibiscus Coast Salvation Army. 🎄✨
They’ll be supporting 80 local families in need this Christmas, and your thoughtful contribution could brighten a child’s holiday with joy and hope. 💝
Thank you for spreading the spirit of giving—together, we can make a difference. 💚
