I want to cry when I see Granny Smiths lying all around the drive of a neighbour. Maybe you have excess chokos, silverbeet, pumpkins? You may not like the produce yourself but there is a Community Group which will come and pick any surplus you have and distribute it to community groups and families. Maybe you have spare glass jars for the group to create all sorts of preserves as well.
