Stats for June 2018
Sincerest thanks to all of our generous donors and sponsors who assisted us in the month of June.
Our food rescue volunteers who work 7 days a week were able to rescue and redistribute over 14.1 tons of food to local foodbanks and other partner agencies with whom we have a service contract with.
Our warehouse volunteers boxed up and distributed 261 banana boxes full of clothing, curtains, footwear, homewares and linen. Then furniture and whiteware on top.
All of this stock assisted over 3,000 people.
We were also presented by the Hon Peeni Henare the Minister for The Community And Voluntary Sector for the work that we do in reducing inequality.

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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
