A gloomy, grey day in Levin as family and friends prepare to farewell Alex Fisher.

One Levin woman is continuing to provide behind the scenes for the boy's family.

Mel Halliday has organised a food drive, and has been overwhelmed by the amount of food people have donated to show their support.

There's also food for those who turn out for the 10-year-old's funeral this afternoon.

The 10-year-old's death remains a mystery after his body was found at Waitarere Beach last Thursday.

His funeral will be held at the Salvation Army centre in Levin this afternoon.

As loved ones prepared to say their goodbyes, a police presence remains at Waiterere Beach as the homicide investigation continues.

A man arrested in relation to Alex Fisher's disappearance last week will appear in the Levin District Court tomorrow.
