Beginnings

Community Dinner’s at Taupo Baptist have been occuring for the past year, under E.A.T. (Emergency Accommodation Taupo) led by Renee G. As she prepares for the next stage of her family’s life, she has passed the continuation of the Monday Dinner’s onto the team at Taupo Baptist Church.

Meals are varied each week: sometimes a local company shouts prepacked portions of rice & butter chicken + naan bread, other weeks curried sausages are accompanied with donations from area businesses like Double Happy Takeaways and Fish Box, plus bread from Baker’s Delight.

What is always consistant, though, is our combined efforts with volunteers from across the community who rock up early to ensure the dining area is prepared and the meal line is ready to go, who then stay after to return the room to a fresh state for the next community function to take place and have grown in their stewardship of the space entrusted to them.

We are delighted to be able to carry on the work started by Renee & her team, which has grown from feeding a couple dozen each week to sometimes over 85, with a weekly average of 68 diners who choose to join us each Monday evening.
