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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

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 http://events.nzherald.co.nz/2012/bellyful-hamilton-the-five-year-engagement-movie-event/hamilton - 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! |

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 https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Bellyful-Hamilton/371733366188331 - 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). -------------

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. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
