Te Awahou kai free food store
TE AWAHOU KAI FREE FOOD RESCUE STORE.
Exciting we have been operating for 6 weeks now.
As many of you are aware, I had this dream to bring a free food rescue store to Foxton and surrounding small communities, (we are based out of room 9 at Foxton primary school), I'm so greatful for the ongoing support and backing of each of you who have played a key part in this become reality, but the reality is we already run on the smell of an oily rag, but it's not enough, we are in desperate need of donations for rent, utilities and petrol.
I have been covering the costs of the above, this has been some weeks in excess of $100, this is not sustainable for my family, I'm asking you the community of Te Awahou kai to please give to our givealittle page or in the way of petrol vouchers/cash donations. Every cent/dollar helps.
We travel around town and out of town to gather food and other items to help our people who are in need.
If you know of any business's that would donate food or other items, or have items at home or in the garden, please contact our Facebook page.
At some stage in our lives we have struggled or known someone close that is struggling.
I am asking for support in our day to day running costs, please help Te Awahou kai continue to serve our community.
For anymore information please contact me on 0272213561 or Linda.teawahoukai@gmail.com or the Te Awahou kai Facebook page.
Blessings Linda Lake.

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)
.
