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: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
