Remember to get your orders placed online at foodtogether.co.nz... before midday on Tuesday.
This Thursday will be the last hospital pick up at Rata House. This is because Public health (the Rata House residents) are moving office nearer to the city centre and will no longer be able to serve as a pick up in their new venue. Our Public Health contacts have been trying to find an alternative pick up location around the hospital but to date this doesn't seem likely at least for this year. So hospital customers wanting orders on the 12th or 19th December will need to choose to pick up from St Matthews or Te Tihi in Main St.on those two weeks.
Note that 19th December will be our last day for 2019.
Some photo of last weeks orders are below
