Pasta Cafe
In the middle of a Queenstown winter, on six successive Friday evenings, we supply a free meal, companionship, and conversation
Our team cooks and serves up to 400 meals each evening. Each meal is rounded off with some home baking, cold drinks, tea or coffee, and on occasion: ice-cream!
Another group of volunteers welcome people and move among them to talk and chat while in a back room another group wash dishes and tidy up.
Over the past years we have served over 25,000 meals. Letters, cards and other messages give us the knowledge that what we are doing is important and is appreciated by the recipients, and in some cases their overseas families. Living costs in this community are high and this is one way we can help especially in the cold of winter.
