Freezer for the food bank.....I'm on the scrounge.
I've been involved with food rescue and the Masterton food bank for about 6 months now, and I'm on the scrounge.
Last week the food bank had a minor freezer crisis, where one of the chest freezers broke down. Fortunately we managed to get some borrowed freezer space at one of the local food retailers, so the immediate problem was taken care of. But that leaves the issue of replacing the broken freezer. I've taken it upon myself to see if I can help. Thus, the scrounge.
It occurred to me that people in our community might have, or know someone that has an old chest freezer in working condition, that is sitting around unneeded and taking up space in a garage. If anyone does have one that they can donate to the Masterton food bank it would be hugely appreciated. Its value would be a tax deductible donation. I would make arrangements to uplift it, and clean it if necessary.
The size we require is a chest type, around 350 to about 500+ litres, and in working condition.
So if there's anyone that can help out please reach out to me here or at my email address: rancdanc@gmail.com
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
