The foodbank is running low on the below key items:
🥫 Tinned fish
🥫 Tinned vegetables
🥫 Breakfast spreads – jam, peanut butter
🥫 Breakfast cereals – cornflakes, muesli
🥫 Tinned/cuppa soup
🥫 Two-minute noodles
🥫 Tinned spaghetti
🥫 Sanitary items
🥫 Laundry powder
🥫 Toothbrushes
🥫 Shampoo and conditioner
🥫 Pasta
🥫 Rice

If you can spare and item or two, donations can be dropped off directly to our Newtown Welfare hub or any of our nine Wellington op shops.
