The weather is getting colder and prices are rising- take a look at some of these power savings tips and share them with friends and family. Don't forget to check in with your neighbours and make sure they are doing ok going into winter. Make a neighbour some soup or invite them over for a coffee to help ease the winter blues.

We are so grateful to be working with Game Changer, and our local hunters, to be able to provide wild game mince for our food parcels. This will make a huge difference to our busy foodbank and help ensure quality vital protein is able to be included in our food parcels.
You can check out our page on the Game Changer website here: https://gamechanger.wgrt.org.nz/foodbank/FBCB05
and donate directly to our foodbank. As always we guarantee that 100% of donations raised will go to those in need in the Waimate District.
Thank you Game Changer, our local butchers and our hunters for this awesome initiative.
