We Love Mac ‘n’ Cheese pop-up at Welly On A Plate
A celebration of comfort food that cares for community We’re bringing a community feast with a purpose to Visa Wellington On a Plate as a finale event for the month-long food festival. Teaming up with our friends at Everybody Eats, we’re aiming to serve up 2,000 bowls of mac ‘n’ cheese in one big day of comfort food and feel-good fundraising. We Love Mac ‘n’ Cheese is a pop-up event for all on 31 August, the final day of winter. It’s about bringing people together through good food, shared tables, and aroha in action. The event is a joint effort between Everybody Eats, Wellington’s pay-what-you-can community restaurant, and Kaibosh, Aotearoa’s first food rescue charity. All proceeds will be split evenly between our two charities, to help us both reduce food waste and nourish people across the region.

Banana Box Artivism
Banana Boxes to the Rescue At Kaibosh, we’re used to thinking outside the (banana) box. As demand for food support rises and traditional funding sources remain uncertain, we need more than just good systems —we need creative energy, strong partnerships and more people chipping in to help our food rescue mission. That’s why we’re thrilled to be working with Urban Dream Brokerage (UDB) and The Wellington Company this May to bring our mahi into the public eye in a new way with a pop-up at 126 Lambton Quary during our Annual Appeal. In a busy world where so many good causes are calling out for attention, we’re trying something a bit different to help people understand the scale—and the pressures—of food rescue. Our team at Kaibosh doesn’t just wait for food to come to us. We’re piloting solutions like Second Harvest, building relationships with growers, and running our own food rescue kitchens that transform even more rescued food into hearty kai for those in need. Every step is designed to meet growing demand with dignity, care, and community at the centre.
