Patakai Kai Free Open Street Pantries

Swan from Otara

The (Pātaka Kai) Open Street Pantry Movement is a resident led, grassroots, crowd sourced solution to immediate and local need. Whether a need for food or a need to give, the Open Street Pantry Movement facilitates neighbours helping neighbours, building community. All street pātaka (pantries) are stocked organically. Those who wish to contribute may do so at their own discretion when convenient. This is not a new idea. Our ancestors have done this in many shapes & forms in the past and our neighbours over in the U.S.A have done an amazing job doing this with their own version all over the united states. We are everyday residents like yourselves. We are inspiring Community Empowerment, Capacity building our kaitiaki's, enabling Inter-generational connectedness, it's Grass-roots led, & true Neighbourhood development all in one.

Pātaka Kai - for those who don’t know - is the Māori term for a food storehouse or basically a pantry.

We need your support to get more pantries out and to help support our growth at this very crazy and busy stage we are in. Please follow our journey and we thank you in advance for your support.

“Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi

With your basket and my basket we will sustain the people”
