We have Kai available every day.

To register for a Kai parcel, you need to reside in Tahunanui and have a valid Community Services Card.

You will be able to collect a Kai parcel twice a week, from 2.30pm, on your allocated days.

On Wednesday we put our Kai out on the deck, and collection is open to everyone.

We aim to help as many people as possible and rely on community members being responsible and respectful.
