More than 200 people turned up for the food drive at NASA camp in Nadi today.

Organizer, Biu Waqaniburotu says they did not expect the huge crowd but are blessed to have people come forward and donate for the needy.

He says being mindful of the COVID-19 restrictions, they kept 80 people at a time.

Waqaniburotu says they have received cash donation from friends of the United Church in Gold Coast, Australia.

Members of the Cawa Methodist Chapel in Martintar, Nadi organized this food drive to help 30 families who are in need of basic food items.

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