It's citrus season and as I walk around the neighbourhood, I admire many mandarin, lemon, grapefruit and lime trees...heavy with beautiful fruit.
If you have excess fruit and are interested in sharing your abundance (and preventing the fruit going to waste), I'm affiliated with Community Fruit Harvest Manawatū - a harvest capture/distribution group, run by volunteers, who work to get excess produce to people who need it - you can drop bagged or boxed excess fruit (or vegetables!) to my driveway doorstep and I'll get it to where our coordinator, Debra, tells me it is most needed on the day.
If you'd like to drop bags/boxes of fruit in to me for distribution, please message me for my address. (It's a central, Takaro address.)
Or another service CFHM offers is that if you are too busy/not able to pick the fruit on your trees yourself, we can organise for volunteer/s to come and pick it for you, leaving some for you and taking your excess away for distribution. If this option suits you better, email Debra, our central coordinator to request a visit from a volunteer picker.
email: pickfruit@slingshot.co.nz
*
So, where does your fruit end up?
It varies, but includes Just Zilch, local food banks, lunches-in-schools programmes like Eat Up NZ, and sharing tables at local libraries, etc.
If you're interested in becoming a Community Fruit Harvest volunteer - you can email Debra at the above email address about that, too.
Let's work together to get the generous abundance of local fruit trees out to local tummies.
& You can find Community Fruit Harvest Manawatū on FB here: www.facebook.com...
Thanks so much!

My name's Leola and I've been a volunteer with Samaritans Manawatū for three years now. For those of you who haven't heard of Samaritans before, we're part of a global organisation who provide listening services to people who are distressed, suicidal, and lonely. Primarily we do this through our 24/7 phone line, and we can do shifts both from our office and from home. The Manawatū branch was first established in the 1970s and remains a vibrant and diverse organisation, with people of multiple ages, cultures, and backgrounds.
We're on the look out for keen new volunteers, who have big hearts and want to make a difference in the world. No specific skills are required, just a willingness to listen and be compassionate to those in need. Training is flexible and we do our best to support volunteers every step of the way. When you join Samaritans, you also join a wonderful family of like-minded people, who care not only for our callers but for each other and our communities.
Want to learn more or even sign up? You can send me a message here, or email me at manawatu@samaritans.org.nz. Look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Leola

“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

• Nike (with subsidiary Converse) is the largest fashion company in the world, with a market value of $105 billion.
• There is evidence that cotton and wool were used to create natural fabrics in about 3000 BC and evidence of silk use in 2500 BC in China.
• China is the largest maker and exporter of silk in the world and has been for 100’s of years.
• The average person buys 60 percent more items of clothing every year and keeps them for about half as long as 15 years ago, generating a huge amount of waste.
• The earliest evidence of fabric textiles has been found in Turkey, Egypt, and Israel.
• The creation of man-made fibres has only been within the last 100 years. Rayon was the first man-made fibre created in 1910 and it was called ‘artificial silk’. Viscose is the most common form of Rayon.
• More than 70 percent of the world's population uses second-hand clothing. About 50 percent of collected shoes and clothing is used as second-hand products. Meanwhile, 20 percent is used to produce polishing and cleaning cloths for various industrial purposes, and 26 percent is recycled for applications such as fibre for insulation products, upholstery, fibreboard, and mattresses.
• Microfibre or Ultrasuede was invented over 20 years ago in Japan. Microfibre is the thinnest of all man-made fibres, even finer than silk. it is 100 times finer than a human hair.
• Acrylic is a man-made fibre that has a soft, wool-like hand, is machine washable and has excellent colour retention. It is often an additive to textiles to take advantage of these properties.
• Nearly 100 percent of textiles and clothing are recyclable.
• Nylon is also man-made and was first produced in 1938. It has high strength, excellent resilience, and superior abrasion resistance. Nylon replaced silk stockings for women in the early part of the 20th century.
• The highest quality cotton comes from Egypt.
• Textiles and shoes make up 12% of landfill sites.
• Bamboo is a grass that has been used to create a fabric that hangs much like a heavy linen. It has natural wicking ability that pulls moisture away from the skin so it can be useful in reducing moisture related odour. It also has natural anti-bacterial qualities. Bamboo grows quickly and does not need pesticides to thrive, making it one of the more sustainable textile sources.

it is glass topped with square steel legs.
Closed it is all black and measures 1600mm x 1000mm (1.6m x 1m) extended it shows the white glass swath through the middle and measures 2060mm x 1000mm (just over 2m by 1m wide)
It needs a little tuning in the mechanism to accurately lift the extension into place.
There are 6 chairs that go with this they are a bit rough you might not want them but can take them if you want.
Have no real idea of its value so open to any reasonable offer phone 0274461981
