Dear friends & followers of Unity Food π€
One chapter closes, but another one will begin soon: We are so very happy to announce the great news that after a short break, the Whanganui Anglicans & Christ Church Anglican Parish, Wanganui will continue with our free food service later in September. The re-opening date will be posted and confirmed on this page.
This will allow some time for cleaning of the storage room, defrosting and cleaning the fridges/freezers to ensure all is in place for a smooth continuation of what this team loves to do best: serve the community and make sure nobody goes hungry over the weekends.
We are so grateful to our hosts from the church, Pastor Caleb and Craig our fantastic Community Coordinator. Thank you for picking up this mission and carrying it forward! π
We would also like to say thank you to all our main supporters, who we have worked with for years:
Savages Bakery Whanganui
Just Zilch - Food Rescue & Free Store
Whanganui Kai Hub
City Mission Whanganui
Wanganui Produce Centre
And of course thank you to the many individuals and generous people of Whanganui, who have dropped us off produce and donated to our cause, namely Andrew & Jane, Dale & Bob and Nicki, who has grown the most amazing vegetables for us!

And last but definitely not least, thanks to the Unity Food Family, you know who you are. The amazing volunteers who turn up every week, so that there is food on the tables for our community.
We love you and thank you for making the world a better place π
This isnβt the end, it's only a transition, so this important service can carry on successfully.
God bless you all
