Opposed to letting it rot in their storage, they packed it all onto a tractor and drove it down to St Teresa’s College in Abergowrie for everyone to come and take as much as they needed.
Tim and Matthias Fehrenbacher of My Fruit Shop said “We had a mass of food that we didn’t want to go to waste and thought it be best shared amongst those in need.” They knew that a lot of people were struggling and being flood effected themselves in part, they decided to donate the $30,000 worth of fresh produce.
By spreading the word on their Facebook page and others in the community sharing the posts around, St Teresa’s had a huge turnout. Filling that craving for fresh food after living for a length of time on tinned goods, the community could not give more thanks to the men behind My Fruit Shop’s kindness.
“You guys are amazing! My kids and I were all so excited to get some fresh fruit and veg - thank you so so much,” Ms Natalie Wiese commented.
“Thank you so much for your generosity and beautiful produce. We have shared your delicious fruit and veggies with a very grateful Abergowrie community,” said St Teresa's College.
Many of the affected residents in the area said they were extremely appreciative of the generosity and so lucky to be part of such a kind-hearted community.
Locals supporting locals, and those with means giving to those who are struggling, is what My Fruit Shop championed when they brought their produce to relieve their flood-affected community. Tim and Mattias’ donation helped ease the burden on struggling families by providing joy with their fresh food.
