ALMOST two tonnes of Tasmanian goodwill has been delivered to North Hobart's Hellenic Hall, just in time for Christmas.
SecondBite, which redistributes surplus fresh food to community food programs, was in full flight yesterday, preparing and delivering food and hampers for Colony 47's Christmas Day lunch.
"We have had a great response," SecondBite food program manager Pat Burton said.
"It is amazing and we are really happy."
He said SecondBite was delivering 1.8 tonnes of food to the hall in Federal St.
"We are expecting an increase in numbers for the Colony 47 Christmas Day lunch," Mr Burton said.
"We will possibly feed about 400 people.
"Not only are we contributing food for the lunch, but also preparing and delivering about 165 food hampers so those who missed hampers can take one home."
Each hamper weighs on average 9kg.
Mr Burton said Tasmanian suppliers -- including Coles, Harvest Moon, Premium Fresh, Southern Fields, Huon Valley orchardist Robert Parkes, Bandicoot Blue, Lion milk, and SRT Transport -- had all made significant donations to get fresh food to the right places.
For many Tasmanians who may not be lucky enough to have all the trimmings of Christmas, Colony 47's lunch offers festive fare and great company to boot.
"We aim to make it a fun day where people can come together and enjoy the day with others," a Colony 47 spokeswoman said.
"Given our work within the community, we know that Christmas can be a difficult time for some due to a large number of reasons."
