Kapiti Community Foodbank - Building Fund Appeal Update
The total funds held in our building fund appeal bank account is $45,054.72, resulting from a steady stream of donations from our very generous local community.
For those of you would like to help but do not have access to the internet, you can make donations in person at the ASB Bank Paraparaumu - our account details are: 12-3157-0048639-50.
We are working with our architects A&D architecture Ltd to design an efficient layout of the new building, including the efficient flow of goods from the storage containers and vehicle access. As a result of the robbery we experienced earlier in the year security is high on our list of wishes as is the safety of our volunteers.
A sign board is now erected on the Foodbank entrance which will graphically reflect the donation level in our building fund account. Similar signs will appear on Kapiti Rd, Te Moana Rd, and Raumati Rd next week.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
