Community advocate David Letele has announced he will be shutting down his South Auckland foodbank which was supplying up to 1000 families a week. 

The operation received $87,000 worth of Government support but was distributing more than $500,000 worth of food. 

David Letele says he can no longer sustain the costs of running the foodbank as Government funding is no longer enough.
