Taka Peters - Local Food Hero from Beach Haven - Needs New Wheels to Continue his Amazing Work

Taka Peters has become an icon in and around the Beach Haven area on the North Shore for his amazing work giving back to the community by sourcing leftover food from a commercial kitchen and distributing this to local residents in his community.

Five days a week, rain or shine you will find this amazing man at the Lancaster Shops in Beach Haven asking every person passing by if they would like some free Kai for their family.

Taka who has lived in the Beach Haven area for more than 30 years hopes to be able to expand the volume of food he can source and distribute, as he has noticed a greater need and increased number of people coming daily for food, but is somewhat restricted due to his current vehicles' size and reliability. His faithful old Nissan is reaching the end of it's life and local residents have gathered together in the hope of raising funds for Taka to update his vehicle, allowing him to continue his much needed generous work of "Saving food from going to waste and filling the tummies of local residents"
