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.
The deal of the week is avocado for $1 each.
The $10 Gold orders are expected to contain carrots, onions, half cabbage, bananas and oranges.
The $15 Community Value order carrots, onions, half cabbage, lettuce, bananas, oranges and apples.

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!
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
