Incognito was a major success!
2 January 2022
Thanks to all of your support and others like The Mt Wellington Charitable Trust and The Panmure Business Association, we were able to distribute a total of:
- $5,000 worth of local business vouchers (500 x vouchers)
- $10,000 worth of gifts (500 x parcels)
- $20,000 worth of food parcels (250 x parcels)
This far exceeded our expectations and created a problem that we didn't anticipate, in workload it took to manage, pack and distribute all of this! Our team worked right up to 8.30pm on Christmas Eve, and pulled out all stops including extra volunteers, extra venues, longer hours and admittedly a bit of stress. We learnt a heck of a lot, and if we do this again next year, we'll for sure be doing it differently!
Thank you to each and every one of you that contributed to our campaign, every bit counted. The Kai Collective is still continuing after just one week break, and will be distributing kai to whānau throughout 2022.
We will be focusing on more long term, sustainable options for our whānau to access kai as much as possible, and would love for you to follow us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KaiCollectiveProject - as we move in that direction as much as possible.
We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and fun New Years, let's all hope 2022 is much more enjoyable for all of us.
