The (Pātaka Kai) Open Street Pantry Movement is a resident led, grassroots, crowd sourced solution to immediate and local need. Whether a need for food or a need to give, the Open Street Pantry Movement facilitates neighbours helping neighbours, building community. All street pātaka (pantries) are stocked organically. Those who wish to contribute may do so at their own discretion when convenient. This is not a new idea. Our ancestors have done this in many shapes & forms in the past and our neighbours over in the U.S.A have done an amazing job doing this with their own version all over the united states. We are everyday residents like yourselves. We are inspiring Community Empowerment, Capacity building our kaitiaki's, enabling Inter-generational connectedness, it's Grass-roots led, & true Neighbourhood development all in one.
Pātaka Kai - for those who don’t know - is the Māori term for a food storehouse or basically a pantry.
“Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi
With your basket and my basket we will sustain the people”

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
