What Does Kairos Food Rescue do?
Did you know that
24,372 TONNES
of food is wasted every year
in New Zealand?
Kairos Food Rescue collects excess food, destined for the bin, from local cafes, restaurants and bulk food providers and distributes it to the people in our city who need it through our Free Store and through re-distribution to food banks across the region.
