Donate This June!

Matariki is tied to planting, harvesting, and hunting — practices rooted in sustaining whānau and grounded in collective care. These core values remain just as vital today, and for many, they’ve become urgent. Around one in four households in Aotearoa now go without food sometimes or often. This Matariki, we invite those who can to help by donating kai.
