Kura Kai - Compassion Freezers In High Schools

Welcome to Kura Kai, our kaupapa is simple, we provide a freezer to High Schools and then groups of local volunteers cook delicious hearty meals to donate and fill the freezer 1-2 times per term.

One of our Kura Kai coordinators will deliver the meals and from there the school manages all communication and distribution of these meals.

Some teachers have been cooking and serving meals at school, many have been sending them home with rangatahi/youth, while others are taking them to whanau when conducting home visits.

Our volunteers pay for all their own food & ingredients, foil trays and donate the cooked meals along with their time to this initiative. Kura Kai fundraisers to purchase and donate the chest freezers to selected kura/school.

We feel very honoured to be able to be helping our rangatahi this way and hope that these meals will give them and their whanau just another reason to stay in school and focus on their education.

We are currently fundraising to be able to buy a few more freezers, to pay for a website and branding set up, purchase freezing meal trays for our volunteers and cover some petrol costs for our area coordinators that drive around collecting meals.

The schools we are currently in are:

Manurewa High School

Tamaki College

Pakuranga College

Aorere College

Mana College

Porirua College

Naenae College

Haeata Community School

Te Puke High School

Otumoetai College

We would love your support to assist us in purchasing more chest freezers, meal packaging and some assistance with cooking ingredients.

Your support would be hugely appreciated..
