What's the deal?
What will you use the money for?
Good question, you have a right to know! In short:
- Purchase of a shipping container at cost price (kindly offered to us)
- Purchase of materials to fit the store out with walls, flooring, a bunch of shelves and a counter top
- Pay a labourer to do the dirty work
- If we go over and above the target, any additional funds will go towards covering ongoing minor costs when we re-open (such as purchasing food prep goods, cleaning products and power bills).
How else can I help?
If you can help in any of the following ways, please contact [email protected]:
- Do you live in Wellington and want to volunteer in the store when we re-open?
- Do you own/manage a café, bakery or restaurant in inner Wellington city and want to know how your business can put its left-over/surplus food to good use at the end of each day?
- Are you a tradesman and would like to know more about working together on this project?
- Do you own some land, or maybe a spare open carpark space, in the inner city area and would like to put it to good use by letting us plonk our container on it?

Thank you, every single individual, group, and organisation that has pledged towards our cause. We have generated a lot of interest in our cause and have pulled together resources from a whole host of places to make this project possible. We have a tradesman on board that will be fitting out the store. Resene PaintWise has generously offered to sponsor our project by providing all the paint needed to make the store look pretty. And we have a whole bunch of people who are keen to get their hands dirty when we get round to working on the container.
