A huge thank you to St Cuthbert's College for their generous donation of Easter eggs 🐣💛

Because of your kindness, our team at Communities Feeding Communities and other Presbyterian Support Northern services can bring a little extra joy to whānau who need it most this Easter.

Pictured here is one of our Family Works social workers collecting some of these treats to share with families in our community. Moments like these remind us just how powerful generosity can be.

Ngā mihi nui for making a difference!

A heartfelt thank you to Dorille and John for delivering the beautiful hand-knitted treasures. These were made by Pat Pratt and her wonderful knitting group at Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church, and are such a special addition to our food parcels 💛

We would like to say a huge thank you to KiwiHarvest and BioPak for donating take-away containers to us.

It makes so much sense for us to use this compostable and sustainable product made from by-products of the sugar cane industry.

Every week we rescue and cook delicious food to serve to serve to our community.
