COMMUNITY FOOD SUPPORT

* Our Community Kai Supply (Kai Kart) is available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays from approximately 1pm.

Please be mindful of others by taking only what you need - generally 3 - 5 items per person depending on how much we receive from Kai Rescue each day.  We aim to help as many people as possible and rely on community members being responsible and respectful.

We have a Food Collection Protocol displayed on the fridge in the foyer and we appreciate your support upholding these standards
