How it works
- Approved clients phone each week and request home delivery when booking their hamper.
- Approved clients must give their address when booking (so we know where to go!)
- Home deliveries happen on Wednesdays between 11:30am-1:00pm.
- Clients must be at home to receive their hamper. We do not leave hampers outside on the doorstep. The client or a family member should be at the dwelling to receive the food hamper.
