KCA Update - 2 New Board Members
Our charity has been operating throughout all levels of Covid-19 and have been super busy!
Our volunteers are feeling a bit frazzled as we have already surpassed the volumes of food collected in the previous financial year within 6.5 months of this financial year.
We are pleased to announce we have 2 new board members join our governance team.
I would like to introduce you to John and Victoria.
John is from Countdown and runs Countdown Johnsonville. We first worked with John when he ran Countdown Tawa over 5 years ago. He brings a wealth of knowledge from the food industry.
Victoria is from Foodstuffs North Island. Victoria and her husband John own New World Porirua. Victoria and John have been assisting KCA for the past 17 months. Victoria brings HR and health and safety experience with her.
We hope to have some exciting fundraising events in 2021 once recharge our batteries and get through this very interesting year.
Due to the housing crisis we are not collecting furniture and whiteware but are still accepting kids reading books, shoes, clothing, microwaves all in clean used good condition. It would be appreciated if items donated are still fit for purpose as they are passed on for free to clients working with our 74 partner agencies.
If you require food assistance, please go to your nearest foodbanks. KCA is a distribution hub to other agencies and groups. We don't work directly with the end recipients.
