Community Pākata Free Pantries coming soon to Glen Eden
There is a movement sweeping New Zealand of community Fruit and Veggie Stalls, Pātakas and or Pantries springing up every day somewhere in the country.
Glen Eden Residents Association have been working with the community to find venues for community Pātaka Free Pantries in Glen Eden.
West Auckland is following the trend with pantries in Te Atatu, Massey, Avondale and Ranui and soon in Glen Eden.
The idea of the Pātaka/Pantry is one of sharing within the community, when you want to give to someone who is needing some food at that time. In turn that person will return when they can, and share with someone else.
There is always someone who for a variety of circumstances finds themselves with a bare cupboard. A visit to the Doctor, a new tyre or a school trip are all things that are unexpected.
Food is not wasted, fruit does not rot under trees, bread is not thrown out in the rubbish, veggies do not go to waste, everything is used and shared with each other.
Glen Eden Residents Association have one stall built by Jonathan Chase at Levelled Up Builders Ltd. as a donation and this will be sited at 28 Aquarius Ave. The second Community Pātaka Free Pantry built by Chris Irving from C I A Electrical and will be sited at 46 Seymour Road, and will be managed by two families working together. The third Pātaka/pantry is situated at 27 Clayburn Road hosted by Caroline and her family. All three Pātaka will open on Sunday 23rd September from 11.00am
There is so much surplus citrus fruit around at present, there will be boxes provided to place your donations in. We will not be taking donations of cooked foods, but would appreciate fruits, vegs, eggs, bread, rolls, buns, baked goods, tinned foods, dry goods like pasta, rice and packet sauces, toilet paper, sanitary items and toiletries.
The Glen Eden Free Community Pataka/Pantries will open on Sunday 23rd September, please put your donations in the pantry.
Take what you need, Share what you can.

Historical imagery doesn't have to be in black and white, it can be anything around or before the 2000s. Think your yearbook photos, you looking stoked in front of your first car or even your mum gardening in her retro fashion. Anything goes, they just have to be taken in Avondale.
