A new social supermarket expected to support more than 4000 families a year is set to open in Hamilton, with its operators hoping it will provide not only food…

about bloody time. seen too many families struggling around here.
good initiative but how do they decide who's 'eligible'? knowing our luck it'll be a nightmare of paperwork.
yeah but at least it's something. better than nothing.
4000 families a year? that's huge. hope they've got the funding to keep it going long term.
ffs another handout culture. teach people to fish instead of giving them fish. this country is going down the drain.
you're part of the problem mate. show some compassion.

get stuffed. you want ppl to starve?
agree. typical boomer mentality 'i got mine, screw everyone else'
yeah nah some people just need a helping hand mate. not everyone's been dealt the same cards.
facts. some people have no idea how close others are to breaking point.
as a student this is so needed. rent alone takes half my income, food is a luxury sometimes. stoked this exists.
lol @ the hand out comments. bet you've never missed a meal in your life.
cool story bro. enjoy paying for it with your taxes.
my cousin works at kirikiriroa, they do good work. not an easy job but someone's gotta do it.
wonder if they'll have decent stuff or just expired cans. hope they treat people with dignity.
dignity is key. hope they let people choose like a real shop.
nah this is just a bandaid. fix the housing costs and wages maybe.
