Tararua Community Services have notified the community that food packs will only be available to families using their service but cooked frozen meals may be available on request. The Eketāhuna Food Bank can provide kai assistance to those living in Eketāhuna. Two full food parcels per year may be available but further assistance will necessitate linking in with budgeting services via Tararua REAP.
Call or text Emma on 021 250 3015 to access our food bank service. Many people are feeling the pinch so please think of others when taking from the pataka kai.
With thanks for your continued support.
