Pak ‘n Save donates food to struggling south Aucklanders
A supermarket store is donating food to vulnerable people in Manukau.
Pak ‘n Save Manukau spokesperson Stephen Lockie approached suppliers to see if they had any appetite for a product donation, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Avalanche, Tegel, Goodman Fielder and Healtheries, with Pak ‘n Save Manukau, donated 24 pallets of food to Buttabean Motivation, an initiative promoting healthy living in south Auckland.
Buttabean Motivation spokesperson Dave Letele said he was grateful for the support.
“Thanks to their donation we’re able to help families who need our help the most,” he said.
Lockie said he was overwhelmed by the generosity of the supplier community.
“With their help we’ve been able to make an incredible difference in our community to keep feeding Manukau families,” he said.
“Community support is vital during these unprecedented times, which is why we need to continue to stand together and help support one another.”
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)
