Meet Kairos: The food rescue offering a ‘hand up’
Hi neighbours.
Christchurch's food rescue charity, Kairos, has been thrust into the spotlight following the closure of Foodbank Canterbury.
They open their doors twice a week to help those struggling to feed their whānau more than the basics.
It’s “a hand up, not a hand out”, says Stuart Ennor (pictured), general manager of Kairos Trust.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
