Expected Food Together contents for 9 May
We had an interesting time packing four different types of orders this week but the team said it was great to have a new challenge. Normally I post pictures of the orders on our Facebook and Neighbourly pages but this week I will also attach photos to this email so you can see what last week's new style of orders look like.
The winner of the lucky draw for a free Community Gourmet order ($26.50 value) is Kim S.
This week's expected contents are as follows: $10 Gold lettuce, telecucumber. tomatoes, apples, pears and mandarins. The $15 Community Value order will have more volume than Gold in apples, mandarins and tomatoes plus carrots added. The $26.50 Community Gourmet will have more volume than the Community Value plus spinach. potatoes, grapes and bananas. The $36.50 Whanau Fiesta box has more volume of tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, apples, mandarins and bananas but the same contents as the Gourmet.. The Deal of the week is broccoli for $1.
Why not order now using the link foodtogether.co.nz... or ensure you place your orders before midday on Tuesday 7 May.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
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!
