Lower Hutt Community Foodbank back at Dudley Street
The Lower Hutt Foodbank has been back in its usual premises in Dudley Street for a month now. The lock-down forced many challenges to its operations but all is back to normal and the Foodbank continues to supply food parcels to Lower Hutt residents in need of emergency help. The photo shows food parcels in preparation.The Foodbank exists through the generosity of people, churches and businesses who provide food and donate money. Food donations can be left at the supermarket Foodbank bins or dropped off at Dudley Street during opening hours. Key food items always needed include snack food for school lunches, tinned vegetables and fruit, peanut butter and sugar. Many lovely people donate through the ‘Give a Little’ page at givealittle.co.nz... which enables the Foodbank to keep supplies topped up.
Opening hours are 9 – 11.30 am weekdays except closed on Thursdays. People needing help must bring ID such as a community services card or driver’s licence. Appointments are not required.
Some Choice News!
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!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
