Good nutrition thanks to Rotary

The annual produce collect by the members of the Rotary Club of Drury Inc is truly inspiring, truly Rotary in Action.


This day involved members of the Club collecting produce from the local growers of the Franlin area from as early as 8am and delivering these nutritional goods to the Salvation Army Collection Depot at Manukau that same afternoon.
This charitable event has been on the Drury clubs agenda for the past 10 years. It was a true example of Rotary In Action.    The fresh produce consisted of; potatoes, cabbages, carrots, garlic, parsley, onion, tomatoes, cauliflower,  in fact any vegetable you can imagine with the exception of pumpkins were on the trucks over 12 tons of it! From there the produce was then distributed all over Auckland, adding to a healthy Christmas meal for many.
The Rotary Club of Drury should feel extremely proud of their efforts and the fact that they helped so many people over the Christmas period.
