With the participation of the other Clubs involved [Remuera, St Johns, Ellerslie-Sunrise and Howick], each once a month, the foodpacking for the Salvation Army continues to go well. We are averaging 3 – 350 food boxes each Wednesday morning.
With other teams involved on other days, the Salvation Army is finding this sufficient to keep up with current demand in their Auckland centres. Consistent assistance from members of the Papakura Club is acknowledged – they are also coordinating distribution from the Manukau Centre on a Tuesday morning.
We are operating with a very loyal team of “regulars” well supported by other members of the club and partners. Further participation invited – pick your at least “once-a-month” Wednesday morning and come and join us!
Great to have Mike Alison’s team from last year’s RYLA also back packing on the first Saturday of each month. They picked up the pace again on Saturday 11th May.
Here’s some of our team on Wednesday 11th May. After morning tea, as you can see, we were assisted by helpers from a Pacifica group. Spot the Newmarketeers?
