We are not a "foodbank"
As a Food Share our team of volunteers gather donated and rescued food from our parish community, Kaibosh Food Rescue and other kind community partners.
We do not have a wide variety of grocery items at all times.
We usually do have some seasonal vegetables, fruit and meat.
We share whatever we have with whoever comes for help.
If you live in Kapiti and need help with food you are welcome. No ID or questions asked. Please bring your own reusable shopping bags.
We need Food Share to be a safe space for everyone. Please be kind and respectful to our team and other guests.
Our carpark is for cars only, no buses or campervans please, there are usually free parks near the Memorial Hall on Pehi Kupa St.
Please ARRIVE between 10.00am and 10.30am, this allows space in the carpark for safer delivery of food at 9.30am.
Our door host will give you a coloured ticket, you can wait inside or outside but please keep the entrance way clear at all times.
When your ticket colour is called between 10.15am and 10.45am please follow the instructions of the door host.
If you have further questions please message us here.
