Kia ora Whangarei (WANTING)
We are Food Rescue Northland, what we do is we rescue any food that is not good enough to sell due to dents in cans, veges are not pretty etc and we collect these to give back to our community agencies who provide food to individuals and families that are need of food. We also accept any food donated from individuals that may have an overflow of vegetables or fruits, or goods that are not being used in the pantry. We rescue food before it hits the landfill or pig farms. If you have any food you would like to donate we have two drop off areas, Whare Awhina Community Trust House, 155 Kamo Road, Kensington or the Food Rescue Warehouse, 1 Woods Road, Whangarei (The carpark of the old Chipmunks). We can also pick up. If you have a fruit tree with excess fruit we are happy to pick these and take away.

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.
