Hi .. During covid my friends at Café Outside the Square (a registered charity) started up a SoupKitchen, to try and ensure that people doing it tough still had food on the table, and what a massive success it has been - already producing some 20,000+meals for people in need in the community, including people experiencing homelessness, victims of domestic violence, vulnerable families and so on. So they quickly realised there was a very real need to keep doing this work permanently, producing healthy hearty meals and distributing them out to people in the community who, unlike you and I, don’t always have a meal on the table. Including clients of other fabulous charities such as Hutt St Centre, Baptist Care and Vinnies to name but a few. So to help them support this work, as well as the ongoing training opportunities we offer disadvantaged people across all areas of hospitality, I would like to ask for your help please! On Thursday June 2, we are all going to get together and make a whole lot of hearty healthy soups and other meals in the Soup Kitchen, under the guidance of the fabulous Maggie Beer, to go out to people who need them. Then we are all going to sleep rough under the stars on just a piece of cardboard at Ayers House, who have been a fabulous supporter from the outset. Your donation will directly support both their Soup-Kitchen and training programmes, and just like in previous years donations will also help support Vinnies (their landlord) too, in helping pay them rent to utilise the otherwise empty space. So if you are in a position to support me I would be most appreciative. Please simply visit my page at XXXX - the process is simple and all donations are 100% tax deductible. Thanks so much and do I hope things are going ok on your end.
