as food prices skyrocket - foodbank
There's been more bad news on Friday, with food price data showing a 7.4 percent jump last month compared to July 2021. That's driven in part by a 10 percent increase in fruit and vegetables.
"Grocery prices are climbing too high - too dear for families," one person told Newshub.
"Absolutely ridiculous, people can't survive on that," another added.
It's driving more and more families to seek help.
Two years ago Kokiri Marae Pātaka Kai was feeding 200 families a week - now it's 350.
