An organisation dedicated to giving whānau a helping hand - and a tasty home-cooked meal - is looking for volunteers to help it expand into the Stratford area.
Bellyful, a non-profit volunteer-based organisation, cooks and delivers meals to whānau with babies or young children who need support. There is no charge for the meals which are cooked around once a month by a team of volunteers in a cookathon, before the meals are packaged and frozen ready to be distributed when needed.
Bellyful's New Plymouth branch wants to expand meal deliveries to the Stratford area but needs a team of local drivers to make the deliveries.
"We'd love to bring Bellyful's practical support to whānau in Stratford," says New Plymouth beach co-ordinator Lynley Stringer.
"We'd continue preparing and freezing the meals in New Plymouth, where we have a great team of volunteers, but we need people on the ground in Stratford to get the meals to locals who need them."
