Cawa Methodist Chapel to conduct Food Drive to assist 30 families in need

As Nadi continues to be one of the worst affected from the COVID-19 pandemic because of unemployment, members of the Cawa Methodist Chapel in Martintar, Nadi have come together to organize a food drive to help 30 families who are in need.

Organizer of the Food Drive, Biu Waqaniburotu says because there are no more tourists, most of the people in Nadi are now unemployed and are in need of assistance.

Waqaniburotu says this initiative is on a barter system basis where they will provide a dozen cup cakes and a bundle of fish in exchange for groceries.

He says they did some food distribution last month and as school has started, they wish to help these people in whatever way they can.

Waqaniburotu says they will also have live entertainment by members of the congregation who used to serenade in hotels and are now unemployed.

The Food Drive will be held next to the NASA camp in Nadi from 10am to 3.30pm this Saturday.
