All hands were on deck when Kapiti Rotary helped relocate the Kapiti Food Bank in Paraparaumu.
In one day (it was supposed to take 2 days), the shift was completed by 22 Rotarians and family members using trucks, trailers, utes, vans cars, and sack barrows. They moved 6 fridges, several freezers, hundreds of boxes of food, and some office equipment from the Kapiti Road site and set everything up in their new premises in Ngahina Street. A container load of donated food and goods already at the new premises was shifted into the new building to be stored, and food from the Kapiti Road site that did not fit in the building went into the container for temporary storage.
The following letter of appreciation was received from the Food Bank.
Dear Rotary Members.
The committee and I would like to pass on to the members of Rotary our heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful people that helped the Kapiti Food bank move premises last Friday. We could not have done it without you. The people power, the truck, the van, the cones, the trolley lifts, the laughter, the energy, the giving was such a joy to witness and be part of. You are a great asset to our community and the giving is done with such generosity.
