This is an update on the Pātaka Kai – Community Pantry initiative that commenced last year, Term 4. The pantry was delivered to Sunnybrae Normal at the end of last year. We are hoping to hold a public launch of the Pātaka Kai soon – date to be confirmed.
For more information on what this Pātaka Kai movement is please click on this link: https://www.patakai.co.nz/
Our school will continue to support this initiative via a keen group of students operating as Rotary Interactors. This is a worldwide organisation and you can click on this link to find out more information. https://www.rotary.org/en/get-involved/interact-clubs
We are wanting to gain any support possible. Some examples of how you can help us are:
- Students to join the Rotary Interact group
- Make paper bag lunches (so a student who does not have a lunch can have one)
- Fruit and vegetable donations from your garden
- Can food and dried food donations
- Personal hygiene products donations
- Baby products donations
- Local businesses with left over stock (bakeries, café’s, supermarkets)
- Businesses that can donate vouchers to use at supermarkets to help restock the pantry
If you are able to support us with this venture in anyway please contact [email protected]
