Christmas with Grandad

Colleen Hawkes Reporter from Homed

It's that time of year - we all get a little nostalgic for Christmas' past. My grandad wasn't exactly the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, but he sure wanted it over and done with. Would love to hear your reminisces.

Beware! Early Rubbish Collection

Diane from Mount Maunganui

5.45am May St (Mt) rubbish picked up! Got neighbours out in time but not our own. Just as well ours is only half full. Meanwhile 3 neighbours put theirs out just after truck had been as they heard the truck and hoping there's another collection later on. No notes in mailbox or anything. … View more5.45am May St (Mt) rubbish picked up! Got neighbours out in time but not our own. Just as well ours is only half full. Meanwhile 3 neighbours put theirs out just after truck had been as they heard the truck and hoping there's another collection later on. No notes in mailbox or anything. Anyone knew about this change? Thought it was about 7am earliest and normaly the truck gets here about 9ish earliest. Not sure about food scraps as noone else had theirs out. Will put ours out just in case unless hear otherwise. Will ring Council and will inform here if I have an answer.

In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen.

Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

With more cases of COVID-19 in the community, it’s possible you and your whānau will be exposed to the virus. Most fully vaccinated people, who get exposed, are likely to have a mild to moderate illness and will fully recover at home.

In case you or someone in your house tests positive and needs to isolate, have food, medications and supplies available. Make a plan with neighbours, friends or whānau to support each other.

If you need more help to manage at home, you can also access a COVID-19 welfare line on 0800 512 337
