Poll: Have hard times led to closures in your area?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Tokoroa’s “social supermarket” has quietly closed its doors after its founder could not afford to keep it running any longer.

Opened in August 2022 by Auckland-based community leader and former professional boxer David Letele and his BBM (Buttabean Motivation) health charity, the social supermarket handed out the last of its supplies not long after Christmas.
