Rotary Browns Bay is one of several clubs in the area who are helping Kiwi Harvest on their Food Rescue mission.

Six clubs purchased the van pictured here and, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the year, they use it to redistribute food from supermarkets and smaller producers to local charities. First call of the day is Pak’nSave Albany, and all kinds of fruit, veges and breads are on the menu. New World and Countdown stores are also major providers.

Rotary Browns Bay’s Murray Allison comments, “There’s so much more we can do, and waste is appalling, so this community service is extremely well-received.”

Remember to watch out for the distinctive Rotary Kiwi Harvest van!
