This year, the Club set itself the goal of gathering 1000 cans of food to be donated to the Lower Hutt Foodbank. While ambitious (and a significant increase over the prior year effort), the Club over-achieved that goal, delivering 1020 cans to the Foodbank.
Members tapped their business and personal networks, with several members - Andy Soper, Linton Adams, Ian Orsborn, Michael Markham and Andy Barker - gathering 100 or more cans. This collective effort demonstrates the best of what can be achieved for the community when Rotarians pull together.
Project organiser Richard Gibbens had this to say after visiting the Foodbank. "I was shocked to see how little food they had in stock and was advised that the store cannot open every day now and have to limit people to a visit only once every 14 days."
