Food Together has a birthday this week!
It is our 3rd birthday this week and we are celebrating! This is a great achievement from small and uncertain beginnings. We especially thank those customers who have been with us all the way. I personally have been involved right from the start. Even though I was only supposed to help out for a couple of weeks I am still here. My reason? I have met so many great people, volunteers and customers alike, and I wholeheartedly believe in what we are doing,
Last week's birthday month lucky draw winner was Dwayne. He receives a free $15 Community value order. One last chance to win a free $15 order in our birthday month by ordering this week.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Recycling question!
Kia ora neighbours,
Is there anywhere yet in Palmy where bubble wrap & polystyrene can be taken for recycling?
Thank you.
