Volunteers Wanted

Phil Davies from Kiwi Community Assistance (KCA)

Our work may surprise you.

We need more volunteers to join our team so that we can continue the important work in the local community. We have vacancies for volunteers to assist us with food rescue (Monday to Sunday) and sorting and boxing up of non-food donations (Tuesday to Thursday).

Every day kiwis find themselves in need: a mother and her children shifted to avoid family violence and needing support; children going hungry at school or others down on their luck.

We have 74 volunteers who provide all the manpower required to run our operations and all donated food and goods that are fit for purpose are passed on to front line charities for FREE.

KCA is small; KCA is fast; KCA is flexible, and we help many in need.

Please note reliability and responsibility are key attributes that we require of our volunteers. All volunteers need to be able to lift 20kg boxes of food (between 2 people) and commit to volunteering with KCA for three months. To volunteer with KCA you must be 14 years old or more.

Please go to our website to read the volunteering opportunities, job descriptions etc. Our volunteer application form is also online for you to complete.

No time wasters please.

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.
