For the past two months, there’s been a huge demand for food parcels from local charities around the country. Find out what we’ve been doing behind the scenes to support these charities who are helping New Zealanders get back on their feet.
(PS – we want to say a special ‘thank you’ to all of you who have made a donation at your local store. Your generous support is helping keep New Zealanders fed.)
During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.
One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?

Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.
Thank you, from the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.
Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.
But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.
While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.
Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?
Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.
You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

I am looking for any unwanted second hand building materials to build extra fencing and housing for my rescued ducks
The following sorts of things would be useful if you have any you don't want.
* Wire netting suitable for keeping dogs OUT (lots needed ASAP)
* Old dog kennels, runs, rabbit/guinea pig/WHU hutches, runs (urgent)
* Old chicken coops and runs anything suitable to house ducklings next spring (urgent)
* Gates, stand alone fencing, runs, surrounds etc. (urgent)
* Cable ties
Also always appreciated:
* Clamshell plastic ponds or similar
* Screws especially self tapping square or phillips type 32mm or longer used is fine as long as they can be reused.

* Donations of feed (chicken feed, grains, cat or dog food, non mouldy scraps) to help with the ~250kg per week feed requirements.

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.
The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.
“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.
The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”
Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.
