Pātaka Kai
Kia Ora all!
Have you heard of the Pātaka Kai that have been popping up in Hamilton over the last month? I am kaitiaki of the one in Tramway Rd and would like to invite as many people as possible to participate in the giving and sharing :)
Perhaps your business or work would like to participate, perhaps you have a contact for excess kai or perhaps you have excess fruit on your tree? - perhaps you would like to start a pātaka pantry in your neighbourhood?
I am happy for you to contact me if you have any amazing ideas on how we can keep this kaupapa/concept thriving! Communities doing community well!
What an awesome kaupapa we are on ‘Share what you can & take what you need’
3 weeks in to the kaupapa in Hamilton and we have some well established Pātaka, amazingly generous communities - and some well fed whanau!
‘Thank you & You’re welcome’ - to and from
all!!
If you are wanting of thinking about a koha - today and every day is a good day! Pick a pātaka kai (or more) and simply put kai in.
- a focus for the day could be fresh fruit and vege excess from the tree or garden you may have, or cans to withstand this weeks weather 😳😳
‘It is a take what you need, give what you can (when/if you can) kaupapa 🙂 no expectations, no judgment. Swapping is fine. If you don’t need to take, ka pai, if you do, ka pai! If you want to give, share, swap - also ka pai 💜The kaupapa is community doing community well, looking after our own by sharing excess kai.
Just because we don’t need today doesn’t mean we may not need next week 🙂

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Have you been to Hamilton Gardens lately?
Hamilton will soon offer a portal to a medieval ‘hospital’, without the stress of the bubonic plague.
The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.
