Help turn leftovers into lifelines for whānau who are doing it tough. Whether you’re a pro in the kitchen or just like to eat, we’d love to have you at our kai tables.
BRING YOUR TEAM
Our corporate volunteering experiences are designed to give your team the opportunity to get to know each other better, learn about food waste and food insecurity and create real change for families across Tāmaki Makaurau.
More than 145 unique companies have rolled up their sleeves at our kai tables in the past two years.
Each person prepares groceries for an average of 70 meals an hour, making a big difference in a short time.
PACK KAI BOXES
Volunteers hand-sort fresh food for distribution through community partners. You will help prepare boxes of fresh fruit, veggies, dairy and eggs for asylum seekers, young parents, those sleeping rough, mental health agencies, and women and children living in refuges. Everyone is welcome at our kai tables.
Monday to Friday 12 - 3
Saturdays 10:30 - 1
Sign up online for individual volunteering or get in touch for a team experience (available Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons).
CONSCIOUS KITCHEN
In the mornings, we prepare meal packs and cook soups, curries, quiche and more utilising the ingredients that weren’t suitable for distribution.
Each week, we prepare around 500 meals and meal kits in our Conscious Kitchen.
There's always dishes to wash, produce to chop, cooked food to package, and plenty to eat.
