Changes ahead and contents for 12 December Orders
There are changes ahead,
Firstly Rata House is no longer a pick up option on the website as Public Health have moved into the city centre. So there are 2 pick up options Te Tihi and St Matthews.
Secondly this week Te Tihi also move into their new premises so pick up for orders will be from the new office. It is just around the corner from the old office but the entrance is off Broadway. The address is 200 Broadway just opposite the Catholic church and it is well signposted on the street. Their pick up time is still 1-3pm.
Thirdly Food Together Awapuni needs a new coordinator for 2020 as I am leaving-see the attachment. Perhaps this interests you or maybe a friend or family member is looking for a worthwhile volunteer opportunity? Please contact me if you are interested and want further information. We really want to see Food Together continue to thrive in the Manawatu.

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