🥫🥫 CANTERBURY! WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🥫🥫
We are completely out of baked beans and spaghetti, and down to the last few tins of fruit and tomatoes!
Last month we served 2561 people through our Foodbank, an increase of more than 36% from this time last year. Canned food is an essential staple item in our food parcels. We need your help so we can continue to support real people in real need!
So come on, Canterbury! Please donate some cans today and share this post!
All donations can be dropped to 276 Hereford Street Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm.
New baby?
Hi - I'm Olivia from Stuff (and a new mum myself).
I'm writing an article on the different challenges faced by parents around the country, from midwife availability and getting on wait lists for childcare right down to the food at birthing centres.
Are you keen to share your experience on what you found easy and what was hard? Please email olivia.wannan@stuff.co.nz or leave a message below. Thanks all :)
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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.
