Hi there, here is the list of contents we anticipate being in this week's Vege Hub orders:
Cabbage
Broccoli
Potato
Oranges Navel
Pacific Rose/Queen Apples
Banana
Orders are $15 each. Instructions on how to pay/order can be found following the link below or in the PDF provided.
Orders need to be placed before Tuesday 12 noon for pick up on Thursday. If you are not sure your transaction will be processed by the bank in time, feel free to email or msg (via our Facebook page) a screenshot.
Please note: As from this week, we regretfully have had to drop Allsorts Cafe off our list of collection points due to low numbers of customers collecting from this point. With orders up to around 100 lately, our team is currently reviewing the logistics of what we do and will make changes where possible to lighten the load on our volunteers. The people with Allsorts have been a great source of support for us. With all our hearts we thank them. The Allsorts team offer a much needed and fantastic service to the community, and I will be looking for future ways to partner with them and to support the mahi they do.
Sing out if you have any questions, and remember to bring some bags!
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
