Community Food Pantry

Victoria from Mount Maunganui

Any one out there with some carpentry skills & spare time to build a us nice sized Community Food Pantry for Arataki Area?  I have the perfect location, all we need is the pantry and we can get started. 

Please private message me if you think you can do it, or have supplies to  make one like heaps of left over wood from a building project or fence project etc.  We can talk about design etc. 

Please know this is a non-profit "giving back to the community" kind of thing so if you want to charge us, don't bother messaging me please. 

It will be a place where people can bring their extra fruit & veg from their property, for young & alike, maybe hungry but with no shame collection point (on the way to school etc) and this way good food is not wasted on the ground.   

Thanks Peeps!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
