The food rescue charity is moving their Lower Hutt premises to a large facility in Petone. It will become their central base, from where they'll redistribute food to communities in Wellington, the Hutt Valley, Kāpiti, and Horowhenua.
Kaibosh general manager Matt Dagger says COVID-19 has created a crisis and more people than ever cannot afford to buy food.
The new facility will allow Kaibosh to help address the need for food relief in the wider Wellington region, and install better food waste practices in Lower Hutt.

The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

The 92 year-old grew up in the Hutt Valley, attending Hutt Valley High School and playing for Hutt Districts.
He was inducted in the Hutt Valley Sports Awards Hall of Fame in 2011.
He was in charge in 1956 when New Zealand won their maiden test, against the West Indies in Auckland, and was in the 11 a year earlier when they were routed for a still world record 26 by England.
Reid is generally rated alongside Sir Richard Hadlee and Martin Crowe in discussions over our greatest cricketers.

An independent investigation found that Milne attempted to influence council staff to sell tennis court land in a way which would benefit Hutt Valley Tennis. Milne’s wife is the president of the tennis association.
In a separate complaint, Milne was found to have inappropriately contacted a general manager from Waste Management Ltd while the council’s waste and recycling tender process was still active.
A furious Milne told his colleagues the investigation was a “political hit job” and he refused to apologise.

Here’s what you need to know about the candidates in the running to be Remutaka MP.
At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
Through the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, those enrolled can vote for the party they want as well as a local representative.
Why does my MP matter?
The person elected will be the voice for your region in Parliament. If you're having trouble getting entitlements or dealing with Government departments, they can help. If your community needs funding for certain projects or activities, or there isn't enough healthcare in the area, the elected MP can step in and help.
To be elected, the candidate needs to secure the most votes.
