Internet banking orders need to be in by midnight Monday 4 October for pick up from your chosen location Thursday 7 October. Remember to bring a couple of bags.
Instructions on how to order can be found in the document attached. Your Internet Banking payment you make also serves as our ordering system.
We are so excited to welcome a new pickup-partnership! We welcome Sammy Norton CEO of the Industry Training Solutions (ITS) Allsorts Centre and her team. What an amazing organization this is. Allsorts is a cafe, a safe and inclusive space for community gatherings. They also work with ITS providing classes. Details about the Allsorts pick up point can be found in the Instructions; however, even if you do not live centre-city I recommend visiting Allsorts anyway and staying for a cuppa.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and please stay safe and well.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
