ANOTHER MIXED BAG PRIORITY LIST!
Hi there!
This is my first post on behalf of the Kapiti Community Foodbank.
We have a range of things that we are running low on this week.
- Canned soup
- 2 minute noodles
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Tampons
You can pop anything you can spare into one of our food bins at your local participating supermarket (i.e. Pak n Save Kapiti, New World Kapiti and New World Waikanae plus Paraparaumu Countdown).
Thank you from the team at the Kapiti Community Foodbank.

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!
