When we first started sharing fish heads here in Wellington, we never imagined we’d end up collecting aluminium cans for recycling to help pay the bills.
But we do what it takes. And here we are, well over 30,000 kilos later, thanks to the dozens of people and places contributing every week. People like Kiri from Upper Hutt Cosmopolitan Club, Scott from Vertex Scaffolding, Susie from Kaibosh and Hayden from Enviro NZ, along with the generosity of Phoenix Recycling Group who help turn it all into funding for the kaupapa.
Because of that support, we now continue to share enough kaimoana to create more than 500 family meals every week.
And more than anything, we continue to be blown away by what’s possible when people come together, value resources, and back one another for the collective wellbeing. Its’s amazing really.
