Random Acts of Kindness – August 1st to 31st 💖

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From paying it forward in line at a cafe to giving flowers to a friend ‘just because’ - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.

This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.

Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Feijoa scooped and frozen. Price is $16 per Kg.
Available in Half. One. Two and Three Kg snap lock bags. As well as some 1kg plastic containers. (In total we still have over 100Kgs)
It takes approx. 2.3 Kgs of fruit off the tree to produce 1 kg of scooped fruit. So in effect $16 per kg of frozen equals less that $7 per Kg for the actual fruit.

The fruit is not registered organic but is totally spray free. All processing carried out in spotless and hygienic surrounds by myself and my wife, both of us having attended food hygiene courses.

We live in Tauranga and do not want to ship small amounts of frozen fruit nationwide. However, we travel quite frequently to Auckland, Rotorua, Hamilton areas and could possibly bring fruit through.

We are happy to deliver around Tauranga, or fruit to be picked up as long as prior arrangements are made. Call us on 0274964683
