Volunteers needed for our campaign to feed hot lunches to children in low decile schools in Whangarei.
Hi Readers. We are looking for 300 volunteers to be part of a unique fundraising strategy, called the Global Loyalty-Rewards Fundraiser. This fundraiser will result in our charity preparing and delivering hot lunches to children in low decile schools in Whangarei.
To note: The Global Loyalty-Rewards Fundraiser is not a donation-based fundraiser, rather, it is a membership fee-based fundraiser.
HOW VOLUNTEERS CAN HELP PROVIDE HOT LUNCHES TO CHILDREN IN WHANGAREI'S LOW-DECILE SCHOOLS:
Volunteers will be part of a coordinated effort, where they will deliver a written appeal to businesses in the retail, commercial and industrial areas of Whangarei. The appeal asks businesses if they would give a
5-10% discount, or a special offer (loyalty-rewards) to the people who fund the hot lunches project. Businesses thereby become the 'rewarders' in this loyalty-rewards fundraiser. These businesses are known as Supporter Businesses... they receive permanent, free advertising space on our charity website, with absolutely no fees to pay, to advertise their business and their support of our charity.
We will also be taking up a phone campaign, to reach all businesses listed in the Northland Yellow Pages Directory. Our aim is to reach all businesses in Whangarei, to ask them to become Supporter Businesses (conditions/vetting standards apply).
With a collective, coordinated effort, we hope to build a large directory of Supporter Businesses on our charity website. If we can get hundreds of Whangarei businesses registered on our charity website, offering discounts and special offers, this will attract the people who fund the children's hot lunches.
These funders are called Network Members. Thees members will be happy to pay the annual membership fee of $195, because they will be able to receive back the value of that membership fee in discounts and special offers (loyalty-rewards) offered by Supporter Businesses.
Reader, can you give three hours of your time to help us reach businesses? If you can, please know that you will be a valued part of a collective effort in support of our 'Hot Lunches in Schools' Project.
Thank you for reading. I welcome your questions.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

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!
