Seeking Superstar Volunteers

Jayne Mulligan from Christchurch City Mission

We are on the hunt for some superstar volunteers to help us out in our Foodbank.

The shifts are from 8.30 to 12.30, and we'd love you to join us for at least one morning each week. The shift involves unpacking food donations, driving a van to pick up food, storing and sorting food in the Foodbank as well as packing food parcels.

The Foodbank is a fast paced environment where you will get to meet other dedicated volunteers, and be part of a team that is helping real people in real need.

If you or someone you know is interested then please get in touch! email businesssupport@citymission.org.nz or call us on (03) 365 0635.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
