Emergency Services Food Drive
The Emergency Services Food Drive is the emergency services ( Police, Fire, Ambulance and Emergency Management ) teaming up together to collect any food that residents can donate to those in need through the Tauranga Salvation Army.
This year, the Tauranga Emergency Services Team will be driving through the suburb of BETHLEHEM in the early evening of Wednesday, 4th December 2019. All is required is to leave a small plastic bag of groceries by the letterbox or send the kids out when you hear us driving along ( sirens and lights /horns/loudhailers expected ). They will do their best, but not all suburban streets will be covered. Donations can be made at countdown stores, and Tauranga I-site also.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
