The Salvation Army - Red Shield Appeal & Street Collection
There are Kiwi's across New Zealand living on the edge. So many people who are one step away from disaster and chaos.
But you can help:
This week is our national Red Shield Appeal Week. This is when we collect vital funds to help us run frontline services including Foodbanks, Financial Mentoring, Social Work, Parenting Courses, Lifeskills and Counselling. The current cost of living crisis has meant that we are needed more than ever. If you can give, either of your time to help us collect in our street appeal or through giving a donation, this would make a world of difference. And to all our supporters and colleagues already collecting and donating - Thank you so much - God Bless you!! Donate Below....

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
