Juicing up families in need

Enjoying a Juicie or a Moosie could help feed more families in the Nelson Tasman region.

Over one week of lockdown, Kai with Love distributed 937 food boxes to local families.

The food charity want to provide more help to the community but that requires more frozen food storage. And that’s where Tasman Bay Food Company’s Juicies and Moosies come in.

They had a cancelled order of Juicies so they are selling these, along with some Moosies with all proceeds going toward the freezer.

“Kai with Love do a great job and we are just keen to help in any way that we can,” says Tasman Bay Food Company managing director Marina Hirst Tristram.

The company is hoping to fundraise $2-3000 towards the container, which will then be stored on their site.

In less than a day they had sold 1200 Juicies/ Moosies but Marina says they have 900 boxes to sell.

“And we are hoping that will mean that Kai with Love is able to take larger donations of food.”

Kai with Love’s Abigail Packer says they are very grateful to Tasman Bay Foods for their support.

“This lockdown the demand for our food boxes has grown by 50 per cent,” says Abigail.

“Companies like this who give out of their loss demonstrate what a generous heart they have for our community.”

Orders can be made online here and will be delivered contactless to your door by the Tasman Bay Food Company team.
