KCA Receives 18 pallets of food stock from Auckland Company

Phil Davies from Kiwi Community Assistance (KCA)

Our volunteers have been very busy this week going in the background to redistribute 18 pallets of non-perishable food stock across the Greater Wellington region.

It took our team of 6 volunteers - Lissie, Tracy, Liam, Alastair (Tawa Lions) David and John (Tawa Lions) 1.5 business days to get it out back into the community.

This stock was shared with local foodbanks as far as Kapiti across to Upper Hutt and Wellington City.

Last financial year to 31st March 2019, our charity rescued and redistributed over 196.6 tons of food. 3,174 banana boxes of clothing, schoool supplies, Xmas present and then the trucks full of furniture and whiteware.

To learn more about what our Grenada North/Tawa charity does please watch the Tv1 Good Sorts link below.

Whilst the video is 3 years old the only thing that has changed is the significant increase in food rescued and redistributed each week. It is now 4-5 tons of food a week.

Please note that as we are a distribution hub to 67 other charities and community groups that we don't deal with the general public. Our 100 volunteers work behind the scenes directly with local foodbanks like Newlands Foodbank, Salvation Army Foodbanks in Lower Hutt, Porirua and Tawa, St Annes Pantry Foodbank, plus groups like Bellyful.
