Lower Hutt Community Foodbank back at Dudley Street
The Lower Hutt Foodbank has been back in its usual premises in Dudley Street for a month now. The lock-down forced many challenges to its operations but all is back to normal and the Foodbank continues to supply food parcels to Lower Hutt residents in need of emergency help. The photo shows food parcels in preparation.The Foodbank exists through the generosity of people, churches and businesses who provide food and donate money. Food donations can be left at the supermarket Foodbank bins or dropped off at Dudley Street during opening hours. Key food items always needed include snack food for school lunches, tinned vegetables and fruit, peanut butter and sugar. Many lovely people donate through the ‘Give a Little’ page at givealittle.co.nz... which enables the Foodbank to keep supplies topped up.
Opening hours are 9 – 11.30 am weekdays except closed on Thursdays. People needing help must bring ID such as a community services card or driver’s licence. Appointments are not required.

Te Omanga Hospice’s Annual Street Appeal
Te Omanga Hospice’s Annual Street Appeal is taking place during Hospice Awareness Week on Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May (Upper Hutt Brewtown Market only on Sunday).
You will see our official volunteer collectors out on the street (come rain or shine) across the Hutt Valley, wearing pink aprons and holding white donation buckets.
Please give generously when you see an official collector.
We need your support to keep our services free for all those who need us. Together we can make a difference to the over 600 patients and their families we care for each year.
If you can’t donate at one of our collection sites during the appeal, you can also donate through our Givealittle page givealittle.co.nz... or online at www.teomanga.org.nz...
Thank you for your support!
