In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen. Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

Cool cat soul on East FM tomorrow Saturday arvo...

Sound the alarm! It’s 77th birthday week for one of the all-time greats of rock n’ roll and soul, as we celebrate the awesome talents of Booker T. Jones on tomorrow arvo’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time) on East FM.
Following on from our recent featuring of Jones’ lifetime music friend and colleague, Steve Cropper, on the occasion of his 80th, it’s only fitting we pay our respects to one of the coolest musician cats there has been.
Jones and Cropper, with the late-great Donald Duck Dunn and Al Jackson, formed the legendary force that was the house band at Stax Records, Memphis, 60 years ago (when Green Onions came out), either releasing instrumental soul classics as Booker T. and the MGs or backing vocal legends such as Otis Redding live and on tape.
One of Duck Dunn’s great lines in The Blues Brothers is: “We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.” Same could be said of the MGs.
Booker T. Jones put out a tight n’ groovy classic album in 2013, Sound The Alarm, with collaborations with a dynamic cast of artists, so we’ll feature it at 5pm in entirety, as well as spinning Booker T. and the MGs gems.
Had the absolute pleasure to see Booker T. and the MGs live in London 30 years ago, almost three decades after Green Onions, with guest vocalist, Eddie ‘Knock on Wood’ Floyd at the Town and Country Club (later the Forum) in Kentish Town. That’s also a reflection of Jones’ and Cropper’s enduring relevance and longevity over six decades – they’ve always produced music that is timeless and can be played anywhere, anytime.
We’ll also take our usual tour of other musical neighbourhoods on the She’ll Be Right Show with PJ on East FM, East Auckland’s soulful community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally on www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
Looking forward to being locked down in the East FM studio from 3pm Saturday – it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. – PJ, haircut on the horizon...

Auckland man to run seven marathons in seven days for children’s charity

A runner will complete seven marathons in as many days to raise money for underprivileged children.

West Auckland man Harrison Sanders, 23, said he wanted to experience a struggle, and encourage others to make a change with him.

“There are tens upon thousands of kiwis children that are going without food and the basic essentials to get by over this time of joy,” he said.

“So this year, I wanted to help out those who are in need over this time of joy.”

The primary school teacher will complete the runs from December 13 to 19, starting from Hobsonville School and running around west Auckland.

“The route will be the same every day, and I would love people to join in for parts of it whether it be running, biking, scootering, or even driving alongside,” Sanders said.

He has partnered with Pak n Save Westgate, Breaker and Tuatara Baseball, and every $100 raised will supply a child with a $75 Pak n Save voucher, $25 towards school stationary and a free sports ball.

Sanders previously ran 45km a week in the space of a year to raise money for mental health, alzheimers and epilepsy charities.

“Nothing prepares you for this amount though. So I look forward to the mental game I will be faced with,” he said.

“The route will be the same every day, and I would love people to join in for parts of it whether it be running, biking, scootering, or even driving alongside.”

He has set up a Givealittle to receive donations.
