Kapiti Community Foodbank - Building Fund Appeal

Building Fund Appeal - Weekly Update

WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO MAKING THE RELOCATION POSSIBLE

Another great week of donations from the community - $1,920 along with a generous pledge of $10,000 from the Connect Church who are long time supporters of the Kapiti Community Foodbank.

In addition the Foodbank has transferred a further $38,620.28 from reserves deposits that have become due - making our grand total $85,595.00.

We have identified and committed to a relocatable classroom which with alterations and refurbishment will be most suitable.

The attached picture shows the building in its very raw state.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
