Auckland: Free ham to a deserving cause

**xgnr** · 18th December 2007, 18:11

Hi all

I was given a Ham today (1/2 Ham on the Bone 5.6 Kg's) piccy below . No way we will eat it all so and I would rather give it away to a deserving cause/family.

(No Zapf you cant have it and neither can you Puddy)

Mrs XGNR and I thought that we might like to ask you guys to provide suggestions as to what to do with it.

Any ideas? Post an idea and we will go from there.

One condition is that they need to pick up from Central Auckland.

Cheers

Stu

Auction, with proceeds to the site... or some other cause you nominate

**hXc** · 18th December 2007, 18:28

If only I was in Auckland. I could use it for an AFS raffle or similar auction with proceeds going to AFS and/or my exchange.

Oh well, good luck.

You could track down your local "Mayors Dinner" or "Community Dinner" & donate it for the feed on xmas day! Your local CAB should be able to help you find a number to call.

My son & I are volunteering our xmas day to help out at our local community dinner.. I did it last year.. it's an AWESOME day!!! An amazing HUGE feed is put on for local families who might otherwise have ferk all on xmas day!! & it all comes from donations from the public & local businesses!!!

Good on you for passing it on btw!

Yup and the City Mission does a meal as well.... It would be nice to see it going towards something that can help others smile.
