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.)

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
Level 2 is just around the corner!

Why don't we make it one way?
Working with the Mauao Trust we looked into this instead of closing it, but unfortunately it was not feasible given people's varying physical abilities.
Some people will still want to run while others may want to keep a more leisurely pace, and despite people's best efforts, maintaining a safe distance while passing isn't possible.
😡Other tracks are open though!😡
The main difference between Mauao and some of the other tracks that are open is volume. Truthfully, the other tracks just don't see the volume of people Mauao does.
When will it reopen?
Working with the Mauao Trust, we will look to open it as soon as it is safe to do so.
This time is allowing Mauao to take a break and replenish. Please be respectful of the closure and the measures in place for your safety.

With all the emphasis on hand-washing these days, we thought it would be a good time to share our story with you.
My partner and I were looking for a totally natural and gentle cleanser without the use of liquid detergent body wash. We found that the detergents in body washes made our skin dry and itchy while soap seemed to be far gentler (and natural!).
After our switch, what we did miss was the rich lather and scrub you get from using a loofah and a big dollop of body wash! The soap bars got used up quickly and became a slippery, soggy mess.
And that started our mission to find a better way.
We shopped around but couldn’t find anything that suited us. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We tried a few different things but success came after wrapping a bar of soap in wool and felting it under warm water.
Not only did the soap lather through the wool, it provided a gentle scrub, the bar lasted for ages and no mushy soapy mess in the shower!
Victorious, we decided that we couldn't keep this to ourselves. This was when Bruntwood Lane was born. We began hand felting bars and selling them at weekend markets. Those who hadn't heard of it (which was everyone) were intrigued by the idea and gave it a go.
The feedback was tremendously positive. And we’ve continued ever since!
A bar will typically last for 4-6 weeks so, if you’re starting to run out of your felted wool soap, don’t worry! We've continued to hand-craft our felted soap here in Tauranga over this last month to help kiwis stay clean with quality felted soap made from local ingredients.
And if you haven't yet, give felted soap a go!
" WE ARE OPEN "
Hope you are all well.
Regards Colin.

Share your views on how we can work towards this and what you think we should prioritise first.
We appreciate the reaction from some of you to transfer stations remaining closed at level 3 and possibly level 2. And equally, the questions raised about recycling going to landfill. There are good reasons for this, but it’s a longish story. So if you’re interested – have a read of this.

And by the way, your desire to recycle is making us proud. We can't wait to be able to provide these services again. Thank you.
