Wanted, clean plastic meal containers for volunteer cook

Vanya from Oratia

Kia ora!

I have just joined a local Food Not Bombs group
(en.wikipedia.org...).

We collect surplus or donated food and cook and deliver free vegetarian or vegan meals for anyone who needs them.

I am seeking clean plastic containers - freezer, and preferably microwave, safe - for packaging the meals I cook. If you have a pile of them cluttering up your place, I would love to come and collect them! The ones you get your Indian or Thai takeaways in are ideal.

Also, if you know of any businesses who can donate food supplies, please let me know

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
