Fundraise for Foodbank 2024 - CANCELLED

Sharon Wills from New Plymouth Community Food Bank

This event has been CANCELLED.

New Plymouth Community Foodbank and Waitara Foodbank Pataka Kai work closely together to provide a much-needed service within our communities with this year tracking towards being our busiest year on record with more people reaching out for assistance.

Our annual Christmas food drives were a success in December however due to increasing demand for our services we need to top up the shelves and pay some bills.
So, we are collaborating to raise funds by hosting a charity auction this June, with all proceeds to be utilised within our communities to support people who are experiencing food insecurity.
Donations of quality goods, experiences and services are needed to make this event a success – we would appreciate your support with a donation from your business. If you would like to buy a ticket to the event please check out events.humanitix.com...

On behalf of Waitara Foodbank Pataka Kai and New Plymouth Community Foodbank, ngā mihi nui.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
