Freezer for the food bank.....I'm on the scrounge.

Randall from Masterton District

I've been involved with food rescue and the Masterton food bank for about 6 months now, and I'm on the scrounge.
Last week the food bank had a minor freezer crisis, where one of the chest freezers broke down. Fortunately we managed to get some borrowed freezer space at one of the local food retailers, so the immediate problem was taken care of. But that leaves the issue of replacing the broken freezer. I've taken it upon myself to see if I can help. Thus, the scrounge.
It occurred to me that people in our community might have, or know someone that has an old chest freezer in working condition, that is sitting around unneeded and taking up space in a garage. If anyone does have one that they can donate to the Masterton food bank it would be hugely appreciated. Its value would be a tax deductible donation. I would make arrangements to uplift it, and clean it if necessary.
The size we require is a chest type, around 350 to about 500+ litres, and in working condition.
So if there's anyone that can help out please reach out to me here or at my email address: rancdanc@gmail.com

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
