With The Salvation Army foodbanks around the country already running low on stock and higher demand for its services, a campaign being run in partnership with Wattie’s is helping restock the shelves in the lead up to Christmas.
It is the second year that the Cans for Good collection has been held.
More than 200 schools, including Stanmore Bay School and Whangaparaoa School, got behind the initiative, which ran from October 30–November 3.
Both schools collected cans of food from students; Stanmore Bay School’s tally reached more than 500 cans when they held a mufti day on Friday, November 3. Children were asked to bring a can instead of a gold coin donation.
All the cans collected go to The Salvation Army for use in local foodbanks.
