Pātaka Ora - Kai + Korero for everyone

Thank you for your interest in support for Pātaka Ora at Araiteuru Marae!

Pātaka Ora is a community kitchen providing inclusive fortnightly meals for anyone and everyone who needs some aroha – twice a month on Monday. For more info on the services dates, please visit our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PatakaOra/

This initiative was established post-COVID, a challenging time for everyone and hence it is most important to remember and connect with our community - and we all know that kai brings people together!

We want to awhi as many people as possible for this, from the elderly, stay-at-home parents, unemployed/employed, single people, rangatahi (youth), tamariki (children), homeless, people needing a friend or someone to talk to, & whoever in our community that needs tautoko (support).

We will also have performances, educational workshops, and social support available during kai time to ensure everyone feels welcome, safe, enjoying themselves, and learning something new. We want this to be a place for people from all walks of life to feel welcomed and supported and have a sense of belonging & community.

Your generous donation will be used to tautoko the venue hire fees, raw ingredients for the kai, team behind the scenes, chefs, admin and coordinators to keep this initiative going.
