🥫🥫 CANTERBURY! WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🥫🥫

We are completely out of baked beans and spaghetti, and down to the last few tins of fruit and tomatoes!

Last month we served 2561 people through our Foodbank, an increase of more than 36% from this time last year. Canned food is an essential staple item in our food parcels. We need your help so we can continue to support real people in real need!

So come on, Canterbury! Please donate some cans today and share this post!

All donations can be dropped to 276 Hereford Street Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm.

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Building job

Lesley from Bishopdale

I would like a pantry made in the gap the old hot water tank used to be. This involves a wall being taken out but it isn't load bearing.
Also a shelter outside over the bin area needs replacing.
I have tried Builders Crack and of the 3 only one turned up and I want more estimates.
Any recommendations of builders or handyman who are happy to at least have a look.
