BBM foodbank able to stay open due to community support

A South Auckland food bank left with boxes and boxes of ruined meat, will be able to stay open until the end of the year thanks to a flood of community support. Earlier this week David Letele, who runs the Butterbean Food bank, revealed that about 8 tonnes of sausages and mince were unusable after someone deliberately turned off the freezer where they were stored and also smashed up a forklift. A frustrated Letele, who has been battling to get funding for the service took to social media saying he was out and couldn't take anymore. However, the community has rallied, David Letele spoke to Lisa Owen.
