Cheque presented for 'food rescue'

A cheque for $72,000 was presented to a "food rescue" organisation on Tuesday, November 13, at a Umina supermarket.

The cheque was handed over to SecondBite representative Ms Lyn Anderson by Coles NSW regional manager Mr Mark Carr following two months of fundraising by Northern NSW Coles stores.

The stores raised the money by hosting trivia nights and sausage sizzles, among other fundraising activities.

SecondBite is a non-profit food rescue organisation that takes fresh nutritious food that would otherwise be going to waste and providing it to people in need.

The food is used by a range of local community food programs, to support them in their work to feed some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community.

Mary Macs at Woy Woy is the recipient of the rescued food on the Peninsula.
