Just over a year ago, we launched our Building Fund Appeal - the largest fundraising campaign since the foodbank's inception in 1999. The goal was to raise funds to purchase, relocate and refurbish a purpose-built facility we could call our permanent home.
Throughout the project, we have received overwhelming support from the MenzShed, local businesses and service clubs, churches, and the KCDC. However, increasing build costs, and unexpected expenses have left us short of funds to complete our building project.
No stone has been left unturned in our efforts to provide a permanent home for our much-needed service - including grants, large business donations, and repurposing materials from the community centre.
Our goal is to be in our fully refurbished building by spring, but we need your help for that final push.
So whatever you can afford, please dig deep and help us get over the line.
You can donate by calling into our office at 134 Rimu Road, Paraparaumu, or by visiting our website, or by going to your local bank.
Bank account name: Foodbank Building Fund Appeal
Bank account: 12-3157-0048639-50
And for those businesses or schools keen to get involved, why not come up with something creative for a gold coin donation. It's not only a fun idea but will help boost spirits during these colder months - and it's for a great cause.
All donations over $5.00 are tax-deductible, so if you require a receipt or to share photos, please email foodbankkapiti@gmail.com.
Visit www.thekapitifoodbank.co.nz... for a direct link to our designated building fund appeal account.
Once again thank you from the team at the Kapiti Community Foodbank, and from all those in need who rely on our services.

The ice cream product is the Häagen-Dazs brand Classic Collection Mini Cups (4x95mL) with the Best Before dates from the 04.07.2022 up to and including 21.07.2023.
Ethylene Oxide has been found in the vanilla cup. This chemical is normally used as a fumigant for controlling post-harvest insects, moulds, and pathogens in a variety of food however there is low risk from ingesting this amount.
This product is sold in Pak'n Save, New World, Four Square, and Gilmours stores throughout the North Island and can be returned to these stores for a full refund.

And in hindsight it made me wonder if, had my bravery been made public, I would perhaps have been the youngest ever recipient of the Victoria Cross or similar award, (I would have been under 10 at the time). The house in the photos was the home of a great uncle and aunt (siblings of the Hansen Family.) One of my sisters and I used to spend school holidays up there. (The other sisters hadn’t been born yet.) Anyway, during the war there was a US military base within sight at the end of a side road. Every day tanks and armoured vehicles would rumble up and down 3 Mile Bush Rd past our gate. I developed a plan. There were a lot of very “free range” turkeys, ducks, and poultry of various kinds enjoying the relatively empty and unspoiled environment around the surrounding farmland. Result: lots of eggs, many of which were by no means fresh. I remember collecting eggs, especially old ones and going out to the road with a supply of hand grenades. There was a deep open drain beside the road so guess what! I would hide in the drain when I thought it was time when the armoured vehicles would be returning to base. I courageously attacked them from the drain with my hand grenades though I do remember I was clever enough to attack only the last one when they were in a close queue. I imagine when they had returned to base and discovered that they had been under attack, it would have given them food for thought and probably had some influence in their decision to return home when the war was over. With the benefit of decades of observing world events and the behaviour of nations, it now seems to me that by acting to terminate U.S. military presence, as a young child, I have nevertheless contributed to our small country’s enjoyment of relative independence for all those years post W.W.II. (Seriously. Don’t laugh!)
