A big thank you to FreshChoice Half Moon Bay from the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), acknowledges FreshChoice Half Moon Bay with heartfelt thanks, for their valued donation of $150 towards the facilitation of the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle.
Run by volunteer drivers and volunteer companion shoppers, the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is a door-to-door community shopping service for people who can no longer drive a car, have reduced mobility, or find it difficult to use public transport and/or to get out-and-about.
Considered vital by those who rely on the service, the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle, also helps to eliminate feelings of isolation, loneliness and lack of independence.
Thank you again FreshChoice Half Moon Bay. Your local community salutes you.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
