Kai for Kaiapoi: North Canterbury woman delivering kai to those in need
A North Canterbury woman is scaling up her generosity from finding ways to use leftover groceries, to creating an organisation dedicated to feeding those most in need.
Kelly Jeffs began making meals in her Kaiapoi kitchen eight weeks ago to use up any pantry items she did not want to waste, but the “insane” response she got when she offered to give the meals away on a Facebook community page told her more needed to be done.
“I didn’t realise so many people needed help. It’s not just people on lower incomes.”
She set up Kai for Kaiapoi North Canterbury last week – a self-funded venture to help what she said was a growing need in low and middle income families struggling to feed themselves or their families.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
