Food Together Awapuni (Manawatu) is all about providing fresh affordable fruit and veges to our local community and making connections within our community. Especially at St Matthews we love being able to connect and chat to those who pick up their orders each week. We delight in being able to greet most of you by name when you walk in the door. It has also been great for me to meet some of the hospital and Te Tihi customers and make a connection when I have been visiting those pick up points.
Our volunteers are also a vital part of Food Together. They are a caring special group of people and it was heart warming for me to see 20 of them arrive to pack your orders last week. As a group, we particularly look forward to a delicious morning tea, provided by Chrissie each week, and to sit and chat together after packing is completed.
