Can you help our local food bank?

The shelves are running bare at Whangārei's 155 Food Bank, due to a surge in demand from the Covid-19 alert level 4 lockdown which has impacted many food bank providers. 155 Food Bank has started a fundraising page and is sending out a plea for donations of money, so it can buy more kai to meet the huge demand.
