Help build a pātaka kai (community pantry) for Island Bay where we can share from our kitchens and gardens with each other

Island Bay, Wellington

Our community is coming together to build a pātaka kai (community pantry) outside the Island Bay library – where we can share from our kitchens and gardens with each other. It will be a beautiful space of sharing and connection.

Thanks to generous donations from Bunnings ($250) and the Island Bay Library ($250), we have already built the box for the kai. We want to raise the remaining $589 for building materials for the roof, legs and door. We also hope to raise up to $2000 to help compensate our amazing builder, Joseph Nicholls of SmallProjects.nz who is making a significant time investment to design and build the pātaka. So far it is looking gorgeous!

The pātaka is a joint project between the Island Bay Residents' Association and Wellington City Council. Once built, the Island Bay Community Centre team will help us all keep the pātaka clean.

Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi. With your food basket and my food basket the people will thrive.

Use of funds

Initial funds will be spent on materials to complete the build of the pātaka kai, with the rest of the funds contributing to the significant time investment by our builder - Joseph of SmallProjects.nz.
