The History of The Taieri Christian Care Trust<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The first meeting was held at Unity House on 27th<\/sup> November 1991, with representatives from most of the Churches in Mosgiel present. A Coordinator was appointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taieri Christian Care took the form of a service provided by all the church people to assist others in the community within areas such as visiting, transport to appointments, cooking and delivering a meal, housework, finance and gardening etc.  This included a food bank which at that time was in the kitchen at the Family Health Counselling Centre. People would come and collect their parcels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 20th<\/sup> May 1994, we moved to new premises at Nga Tutukitanga O Taieri (old St Marys School) 51 Church St.  We occupied the front room, storing our food in 2 large cupboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December 1996 we held our first Food Drive and have had an annual food drive on the first Monday of December ever since<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 1998 we moved to a room in the back of the Mosgiel Methodist Church in Wickliffe St and continue to run our food bank from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
