新西兰顶级粮食银行在没有政府长期资金的情况下可能关闭,威胁到50多万人的援助。 New Zealand’s top foodbanks may shut without long-term government funding, threatening aid for over half a million people.

新西兰最大的粮食银行警告说,随着粮食安全社区方案的一次性赠款于2026年6月到期,如果没有政府持续供资,它们明年可能关门。 New Zealand’s largest foodbanks warn they may close next year without sustained government funding, as one-off grants from the Food Secure Communities programme expire in June 2026. 超过50万人依赖这些服务,这些服务为困难家庭,包括就业家庭提供支持。 Over half a million people rely on these services, which support struggling families, including those in employment. 领导人强调,每年重新申请资金会损害规划和服务稳定,敦促政府从临时赠款转为多年承诺,以确保长期粮食安全,防止服务削减。 Leaders stress that annual re-application for funding undermines planning and service stability, urging the government to shift from temporary grants to multi-year commitments to ensure long-term food security and prevent service cuts.
