Donation will ‘go a long way’

After organising a fundraising feature in The Star last week, Allied Press media sales consultant Elliot Phillips was pleased to give $1600 to Presbyterian Support Otago supporter engagement manager Jude McCracken (left) and social work team leader Jollene Warrington yesterday.

"We’ve had a huge increase in demand for the foodbank in the past couple of months," Ms Warrington said. The money would be used to purchase items for the organisation’s foodbank, and would hopefully last until early next year. "It will go a long way." Ms McCracken said they were thankful to the businesses and organisations which supported the feature.

"Every little bit of help is really appreciated," she said.
