KCA Receives 18 pallets of food stock from Auckland Company
Our volunteers have been very busy this week going in the background to redistribute 18 pallets of non-perishable food stock across the Greater Wellington region.
It took our team of 6 volunteers - Lissie, Tracy, Liam, Alastair (Tawa Lions) David and John (Tawa Lions) 1.5 business days to get it out back into the community.
This stock was shared with local foodbanks as far as Kapiti across to Upper Hutt and Wellington City.
Last financial year to 31st March 2019, our charity rescued and redistributed over 196.6 tons of food. 3,174 banana boxes of clothing, schoool supplies, Xmas present and then the trucks full of furniture and whiteware.

Whilst the video is 3 years old the only thing that has changed is the significant increase in food rescued and redistributed each week. It is now 4-5 tons of food a week.
Please note that as we are a distribution hub to 67 other charities and community groups that we don't deal with the general public. Our 100 volunteers work behind the scenes directly with local foodbanks like Newlands Foodbank, Salvation Army Foodbanks in Lower Hutt, Porirua and Tawa, St Annes Pantry Foodbank, plus groups like Bellyful.

Changing the conversation around dementia
Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
