Kairos Free Store is in the business of rescuing food, and has been operating from a purpose-built shipping container at 311 St Asaph Street since October 2018.
We have built relationships with people in need in our city, cultivating a community culture of compassion and acceptance. People from all walks of life feel welcome, and we provide accessible opportunities for people to contribute meaningfully to community development through volunteering.
The New Zealand Food Act 2014 specifically permits businesses to donate unsold food. Known colloquially as the ‘Good Samaritan Clause’, clause 352 states that companies can donate or give away unsold food and are protected from any liability provided the food is safe and suitable to eat.
We would love for your cafe to be involved, here are some more details:
1. We only redistribute surplus food. We are not asking you to make anything extra. We will simply redistribute food that is perfectly edible but might have otherwise been wasted. There may be days that you have no surplus food and that is completely fine.
2. We redistribute perishable food on the same day that it is collected. This means that the food is eaten within a few hours of it being supplied whilst it is still in perfect condition. There will be no issues with food safety.
3. We will fit in with your schedule. We understand that routine and certainty is important in the hospitality industry, and we know that you want to continue to run your business in an efficient manner. Our volunteers will pick up the surplus from you at a time that suits you best in a consistent and reliable manner.
4. We will let the community know that you support us. We will display your logo on our website. We also have Facebook and Instagram pages. We will actively encourage our followers to support those who support us.
At the end of the day if your business often has surplus food and it goes to waste, we strongly believe that you – and those in need – will be better off by giving that food to Kairos Free Store.
