What do you think about a school setting up its own food pantry?

Mandy Te Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, Alfriston College has set up a food pantry to feed its students and their whānau. The pantry - Te Paataka Manaaki - was opened after staff noticed students were saving food from the breakfast and lunch clubs to take home.
The idea for the initiative came from the growing movement of community pantries. Read the story and watch the video below.

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.
