AMI Organistation Grants
The Koha Shed is a nationwide registered charity & I have run the Hawkes Bay Shed for over three years from my home. It started off with donations of household goods & clothing donated by the public, then shared to families in need. In the last year I realised that Hawkes Bay needed food more, so I now collect & distribute food to families in need & the wider community. I have done all of this out of my own pocket (a very shallow pocket) Koha's policy is "No Money Changes Hands, just a smile is all you need for payment". I run six Fridges & Freezers from my home that has boosted my power bill immensely & I also fund the running costs of my car, that is most days loaded to the hilt with donated food from different sources. To be able to have a slush fund to help collect, store & distribute the food would be a huge help.
