Community Fruit Harvesting volunteers pick this fruit, that is growing unwanted or to excess in people's back garden or orchards. We have volunteers who turn some of the fruit into jams, jellies, chutneys, sauces and give the fresh fruit and preserves to food banks, refuges, Age concern, etc. Would you like to help us? If you would like to learn how, we have people locally that can teach you. It is so rewarding to turn unwanted fruit into delicious preserves to give to those in need. Every bit help, even if it is just to wash some of the fruit and put it into bags for the freezer.
For all the new immigrants, elderly or lonely : you could get together and have a regular preserving afternoon - joining in a social occasion, but also helping your community. If you would like to help and we DO need you, then please contact pickfruit@xtra.co.nz

Aucklanders have been making a strong effort to use less water and we want to thank you. Yesterday, Auckland’s water consumption was 397 million litres - that's 3 million litres under the target of 400 million litres or less!

We have increased capacity, we are still producing significantly less water than normal, so we need everyone to keep up the good work.

We are currently asking people to ‘Save20’ through voluntary water savings. This is about finding simple ways to reduce water use by 20 litres a day – such as taking shorter showers, turning off taps when brushing teeth or shaving and avoiding watering gardens and washing cars.

You can find out the latest about Auckland’s water supply situation, as well as more tips to help you reduce water use, at www.watercare.co.nz... or click the link below.
