Raeward Fresh Offer to Vulnerable Customers
Grant Paice
 
 
I contacted Raeward Fresh in Harewood on Saturday.
 
In addition to being open throughout the lockdown to customers from 8:00 am, they are now also offering vulnerable customers a great pick up service all week and a delivery service Mon-Sat (not Sundays).
 
To register you need to send an email to: online.harewood@raewardfresh-si.co.nz.
 
Tell them what makes you a vulnerable customer and include your name, contact details and you can then send them a shopping list. 
 
As they have no detailed online product catalogue you need to be clear about what you want (general details on the types of products they offer are noted here).  They then ring you back to confirm arrangements and to make payment by phone call.
 
For delivery to your home you need to live within 10 minutes’ drive of their store or if you are further away you can also drive there and park in the car park after they contact re the day your order will be ready    You then call them from your car and they will bring the ordered items out and put them in the boot so there is limited contact.
 
If you want to check it out more, 1st call them during open hours on (03) 359 2772 and choose the duty manager option. 
 
Other Rotary Clubs should also contact their nearest Raeward Fresh store to see if they are also offering this service.
 
They are all relatively new at this and it will change as it evolves but they sounded very keen to provide as safe and efficient a service as possible to those who need it.
