Nourish kai hampers packed and ready to Xmas

Reporter Community News

It was a big target, but Claire Turner and Gabrielle Ralph rose to the challenge.
The pair from charity Nourish kai hampers raised $135,000 so as many as 1000 families in-need won’t face bare cupboards this Christmas.
About 80 volunteers packed 1000 hampers worth $150 for those who need it most across Porirua, Hutt Valley and Tawa on Saturday – the highest number the charity has put together, and double last year’s demand.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

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!
