👉 Introducing... Hills Help 👈
This is a difficult time for everyone. However, there are some people who will find this to be a more trying time than it is for most of us. We don’t want to see anyone fall through the cracks and not receive the help they need.
📱We have set up a dedicated phone number - 021 266 3143 - for people who are struggling emotionally and would like someone to talk and pray with. It will be operated by various staff members at different times during the week. If you know or are aware of anyone who needs help, either spiritually or emotionally, then please give them the above number. We care and we’re here to help.
❤️ We also have people who are available to help with shopping and supermarket delivery for those who need assistance. The food bank food parcels are also available for those who need special care. To organise this just contact the Hills Help on the above number. Also if any of you are wanting to help out with this please email Hannah at office@hillschurch.nz (weekdays).
Flick us a private message and we will pass on the number - or if you attend Hills Church then join our family group for more updates.

Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
