Kapiti Community Foodbank - Building Fund Appeal

Maree from Waikanae Beach

Just a quick update to let you know how our building fund appeal is tracking this week.

With a total of $710 coming in this week, our new figure now stands at $103,282.30. With everything that has been going on this week, we are more than chuffed you all have still been thinking about us, and our need to secure a permanent home.

Maybe because you cannot buy your favourite cup of coffee over the weekend, perhaps you could jump onto our give-a-little-page or our website and donate that $5 (both now have direct donation links).

Thank you again to everyone who has donated so far - but we still have a way to go with almost $47,000 needed to reach our goal.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

From the team at the Kapiti Community Foodbank

P.S. Just a reminder - you can still organise foodparcels via the Foodbank during office hours (Mon-Fri 10-12), just please follow the additional protocols in place. Mask. Sign in. Social distancing. Wait to be let in. Thanks for your cooperation.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.
