Good Sorts: Claire Turner and Gabrielle Ralph (Nourish)
Every year at about this time, Claire Turner and Gabrielle Ralph start preparing to fill hundreds of families’ cupboards at a time when they need it most.
Working with local primary schools, the pair put together hundreds of $150 food hampers for families across Hutt Valley, Porirua and Tawa in the lead-up to Christmas.
But this year, their efforts – through their charity, Nourish – are needed more than ever.
This year the charity has demand for 1000 hampers, at a cost of $135,000. It is double last year’s output, a reflection of the increased pressure families are under as a result of Covid-19, the pair explain.
