South Hokianga Food Project

A request for help for families experiencing hardship through COVID-19 from the parish priest of Okaihau, Fr Richard Cortes resulted in a community-led food project for families in south Hokianga. Thanks to a team of wonderful volunteers, and a grant from the Caring Foundation, over 60 food parcels were distributed to families in the Whirinaki Valley, Pakanae and Waiwhatawhata. Volunteers bagged and packed the food parcels and then distributed them to the families. We are so grateful to all the volunteers and parishioners who got this project off the ground. Another community project that you helped fund.
