Successful Food Bank collection
The Rotary Club of Tawa and Tawa Inner Wheel have expressed their thanks to the Tawa Community for their generous support of the Stuff the Trailers collection for the Tawa Food Bank on Saturday.
Rotary Club President, Judith Gray, said that this has meant that the Food Bank has been stocked up for Christmas. More than $1,300 in cash was also donated and will be used to purchase perishables.
Judith Gray also acknowledged the support offered by Tawa Lions, Tawa Rangers, Tawa Scouts, the Salvation Army, Tamsin and Malcolm from One Agency, the face painters, Tawa Fire Brigade, Guardian Funeral Home, and New World Tawa and Countdown Tawa supermarkets.
