Newspaper reports record a 50% increase in demand for food parcels and budgeting services ̶ to middle-class families in particular.

Accordingly, the Tindall Foundation has granted an additional $5000 toward their programme of supporting families and social services in Hawke’s Bay.

In distributing these funds, the Hawke's Bay Foundation will favour organisations catering for both urgent needs and those helping people to re-arrange their affairs to avoid needing this support.
