The owner of the Leycester St Food Works - still better known as Menin’s - is making one last great act of generosity before she shuts the shop for good and leaves Lismore.

Organiser of the North Coast Food for Farmers Drought Appeal Anne Thompson revealed yesterday that the grocery store’s owner Christin Lancaster would be donating all the remaining stock to the appeal.

“Well, ask - and yea shall receive?!” Anne posted on Facebook.

“All this is being donated from Mennin's grocery shop that is closing today!!

“How amazing is that!!”

Previously owned for years by the Menin family, the store across from Trinity Catholic College sold groceries to local families for decades and after school treats to generations of school kids.

However, Christine announced earlier this year that she would not be renewing the lease on the building after being unable to find a buyer for the business.

She told the Lismore App that she hadn’t really wanted anyone to know about the donation.

“I didn't really want to get it out there as such,” she said modestly.

She said that despite having a closing down sale over the last couple of weeks, there will still be plenty to fill Anne’s trucks heading out west including canned food, cleaning and hygiene products, bottled drinks and more.

“It was my plan all the way along,” Christine said.

“I've been in drought areas previously and I know how it is.

“There's too many people doing it hard out there

 “I know I've had a bugger of time as well, but they're in worse dire straits that I am.”
