About the Unity Food Christmas Lunch
On Friday, 20th December, Business Whanganui members Unity Foods will host their annual Christmas Lunch for the Whanganui community. This event is especially dedicated to supporting those who may feel isolated during the holiday season, creating a space where everyone feels welcomed and valued.
Last year, the lunch catered for 60 attendees with a delicious spread featuring pork belly, mashed potatoes, vegetables, gravy, and a dessert selection of pavlovas and fruit salad, lovingly prepared by volunteers.
This year promises to be just as special, and we ask for your support by donating a gift they can include in their Christmas Baskets which are raffled off to lunch attendees.
Gifts can include anything from decorative items to food and vouchers.
