Kai for Kaiapoi: North Canterbury woman delivering kai to those in need

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A North Canterbury woman is scaling up her generosity from finding ways to use leftover groceries, to creating an organisation dedicated to feeding those most in need.

Kelly Jeffs began making meals in her Kaiapoi kitchen eight weeks ago to use up any pantry items she did not want to waste, but the “insane” response she got when she offered to give the meals away on a Facebook community page told her more needed to be done.

“I didn’t realise so many people needed help. It’s not just people on lower incomes.”

She set up Kai for Kaiapoi North Canterbury last week – a self-funded venture to help what she said was a growing need in low and middle income families struggling to feed themselves or their families.

Hello I'm Rae

I offer Reiki Energy Healing in Rangiora.

I provide a non-invasive approach to energy transfer that is extremely effective in promoting overall wellness

Anyone can benefit from energy healing.

INVEST IN YOURSELF: Take a small retreat from your busy life to relax & enjoy a peaceful, gentle, healing session with me. Improve your physical emotional mental & spiritual well being. Reduce anxiety, stress & tension.

You don't have to be spiritual to benefit from energy healing. I recommend you come with an open mind for maximum benefits.

Any time is a good time to visit an energy healer.

If you are anxious, stressed or physically drained, an energy healing session can help you relax and feel more balanced. If you are already feeling good there is always a chance to feel even better!

I would love to hear you if you would like to come along and experience a reiki energy healing session with me.

I also design & sell crystal healing bracelets. I can design one specifically for you or as a lovely gift for someone special.

Please text to secure your appointment 0273 621 601.

I look forward to meeting you!

One of the biggest mistakes buyers can make, is to assume that all builders build the same.

Price is important - however so is the quality, the contract, and the inclusions. Ask questions that look beyond price alone. Examine how the house is actually constructed; what are the bones of the house, what's behind the walls, and what quality of products are being used.

At Golden Homes we provide quotes that work with your budget and your wish list. We have fixed price contracts - No PC sums or hidden costs.

Remember, your home is likely to be your biggest asset.

The tacos have landed.

Taco Bell superfan Jessa Arcayera, 18, waited 90 minutes in line to get her hands on her favourite Taco Bell order: a beefy cheese burrito, crunchy taco wrap, cinnamon twists, fries and a Coke.

She was one of nearly 100 eager customers who donned taco shell hats and T-shirts outside the Taco Bell Eastgate store in Linwood, Christchurch – the South Island’s first – as they waited for the big purple bell to be rung and ribbon to be cut.
