KiwiHarvest is tackling this by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to over 220 community groups across the country.

With $150,000 in Local Grants funding from Lotto NZ, KiwiHarvest delivered 159,914kgs of food—equivalent to 355,366 meals—while preventing 423,774kg of CO2 emissions.

Since 2016, they’ve rescued 14.5 million kgs of food, providing over 32 million meals.

“Just $5 feeds a family for a day,” says Anne-Marie Friis, Head of Fundraising. Every Lotto ticket helps support crucial initiatives like KiwiHarvest.

Will be present at the meeting
Are you concerned about this and if so, you are invited to
attend a meeting with the department who consented on
this new Crematorium. As residents and ratepayers, we
feel we were never given the opportunity to speak up
about this major decision so now is your chance.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
Do not let our beautiful village be ruined of its uniqueness
forever by a bad decision made on our behalf. A more
appropriate decision would be to have it out of a residential area or with appropriate car parking and a place for mourners to congregate.
Marion and Garrie Griffiths
