One Kiwi's trash is another's free furniture
Hi neighbours,
From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.
If you have an project that you'd like to show off – whether you’ve given something a fresh coat of paint or entirely changed its use – enter it into Resene's Upcycling Awards on Neighbourly here. Entries close at midnight on August 2, 2020. Four great prizes worth $500 are up for grabs: a $200 Resene voucher and a $300 Prezzy card.
Our community open food pantry
Hi all,
Poli from Grey Lynn Community Church - 550 Richmond Rd, Grey Lynn. Can we please work together to find the person that took the two sliding doors of our food pantry. It happened twice now. This food pantry is for our community and just want to thanks our local business esp bakery shops and individuals who out of their beautiful hearts donate. But obviously someone out there is trying to ruin something that we collectively want to do for our people. Please if you see someone act suspiciously maybe ring the police or call me on 027 531 9914.
Thanks everyone
