Midwinter food drive

Te Hono o Nga Waka, WestREAP and the West Coast Te Rito Network are holding a Mid-Winter Food Drive to Feed the Tamariki!

The mid-winter food drive will take place throughout Hokitika Town on Sunday 23rd June starting at 4pm.  We are collecting food to fill the Te Hono and WestREAP Pataka Kai to FEED the TAMARIKI and we would love your help!  If you hear emergency sirens on the afternoon of 23rd June please don’t be alarmed – we have St John, NZ Police and FENZ helping with our collection and they will let you know they are in your street by sounding their sirens.  You can leave donations on or next to your mailbox or gate on the afternoon of the 23rd June for the volunteers to collect, or bring them out when you hear us in your street.

Westland District Library (20 Sewell Street) and WestREAP (72 Tudor Street) are taking donations throughout June so please drop your non-perishable items into them if you live out of town or will be out on our collection day.
