A member of a local Rotary club had a good deed thrown back at him when a member of the public demanded a Christmas food parcel from him.
The man, who did not wish to be named, is a member of the Rotary Club of Wanganui South and was involved in delivering more than 20 food hampers to needy families last Monday - just in time to help them out at Christmas.
After the man had finished his delivery, he went home and shortly afterwards received a phone call from a woman demanding food.
"She just said, 'I want a food hamper'."
The man explained that Rotary didn't decide where the food went - the club was given a list of names and addresses of people recommended by Birthright Wanganui, Wanganui Budget Advisory Services, and Tupoho Social Services Trust.
