Topic: Bellyful Nz Posted: 13 April 2012 at 7:45pm |
For those that need a night off from cooking with a newborn or mum/dad/sibling in hospital there are branches of Bellyful around the country delivering meals. http://www.bellyful.org.nz/ or phone 0508 bellyful.
They are always looking for volunteers and people wanting to open new branches.

Also, if you're in either Auckland or Hamilton and keen for a night out and supporting a good cause at the same time, come to one of the movie nights on 5 May. I've heard the goodie bags will be great

Central Auckland Bellyful is in need of some more volunteers too! We have a lovely bunch now but need a few more.
We are planning an information meeting (child friendly!) on Monday 7 May at the Parenting Place in Greenlane. Please email cheryl.tinholt@bellyful.org.nz for more details.
Many thanks!

Hopes, what kind of involvement do you need from volunteers in Hamilton? I'm keen to help out.

At the moment, we're raising funds to start up, so doing bake sales, having sausage sizzles, doing the movie night on 5 May. There's lots to do, why not come to the next meeting? It'll be on the FB page when its planned, I'm not sure there's a day set yet.
And of course, we'll need help cooking once we start doing that (the plan is for June).

I am one of the coordinators for the new Napier branch - we also have one starting up in Hastings as well. If anyone is keen to be involved please PM me! Bellyful is such an awesome organisation and I am so excited to be involved

Hopes that sounds great. I would be keen to help out with some cooking. I have four corned beef roasts in the freezer that I want to give away. We don't eat them.
