Guest Speaker Vicki Henry & Cans for a Cause at last Meeting
Thank you to all the members who have donated cans for Cans for Cause 2026.
Ross Wensley, who has been co-ordinating our Clubs contribution for the 2026 Cans for a Cause is doing a 3rd drop off this week to the Southland Food Bank with the final cans that have come in via Chami's office @ Great South.
If you missed getting your cans to a Rotary Meeting, or have someone who has asked you if they can still donate - please connect with Ross to include in his final drop off to the Food Bank this week.
This is the 2nd year of Cans for a Cause - a Rotary response to the growing pressure Food banks across New Zealand are facing with families across New Zealand struggling to put enough food on the table for their whānau.
The number of New Zealanders needing to access food banks has dramatically increased with the cost-of-living crisis.
The food items most in need are :
- Canned fish
- Baked Beans and Spaghetti
- Canned veggies
- Canned fruit
- Soup
- Diced tomatoes
- Spreads
- Rice
- Pasta
- Cereal
