Helping the Homeless and others in need
Some of you may be familiar with a Charity called ‘Under the Stars - Homeless of Tauranga’. I am one of the volunteers. You can find their page on Facebook. It was started and is run by a fantastic woman named Liz Kite.
Every Saturday evening a group of volunteers prepares a meal to serve approximately 50 people. Most are homeless, some are living in shelters, caravans, cars, etc.
Besides food, we are always on the search for clothing, bedding (especially sleeping bags), tents, toiletries.
If you can help with any of the above and/or want to be more involved, please comment or message me and I will get back to you. I’m happy to be a drop off point for donations of the above items, or they can be taken to 39 Cliff Rd on Saturday evenings between 5:30-6pm. (Building is unlocked by 5:30, meal is served at 6pm.)
Thanks. 😊
Please feel free to contact me directly on 0275552872. 😊
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
