Food Together Awapuni starts this week

Kathriona Benvie from

Happy New Year!
Food Together Awapuni is back in action this week. Order by noon on Tuesday 15 for Thursday pick up at either St Matthews 109 College St (11.30-1 and 4.30-5.30) , Te Tihi at 575 Main St (1-3pm)or at Rata House at Palmerston North Hospita (12.30-3.30pm).
We will now only offer the $12 value and $20 premium orders as there was simply not enough demand locally to make the $36.50 whanau boxes economic.

Please also note we want to eliminate plastic bags from our hub and so have moved to plastic tubs for ease of packing at St Matthews and Te Tihi. So please bring your own bags or a box to transfer your produce from our tubs when you pick up your order at these locations. For hospital orders we will pack into spare produce boxes when we have them available after packing.

This week the value bags are expected to contain cabbage, potatoes, carrots, plums, peaches and apricots. Add in onions, corn and bananas for the premium bags. The deal of the week is Blueberries $2 a punnet. Note the website says $3 but the price is $2 and when you place a DOTW order the price shows as $2..

Why not order now at foodtogether.co.nz... and so that you don't miss out on the midday Tuesday close off for online orders.

There will be a lucky draw for a free $20 order for anyone who orders this week. Winner will be drawn on Thursday so free order will be for next week.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

I have a ceramic lamp base that I’d like to be made in to a lamp. Anyone out there that can do the job?

Thank you!
