"I want us to make a stand and give it a good go providing Food Together in Palmerston North.
"We have a large area to cover, we can make this work," Houben said.
There were many suggestions for getting the word out to the community, and across the region.
Sarah Davis has been a customer since Food Together started and had called to St Matthew's on College St to collect the whānau box of food.
The box contained, apples, oranges, bananas, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, kumara, carrots, onions and potatoes.
The boxes are packed with local produce.
