15 years ago we were inspired by the Bryan Bruce documentary Inside Child Poverty NZ which was partly filmed in Cannons Creek in Porirua. We decided to do something about assisting families living in the Wellington region struggling to survive in inequality. This is how Kiwi Community Assistance Charitable Trust (KCA) started.
Our volunteers rescue surplus food, collect donations left at our various drop off points in the Northern suburbs of Wellington and Porirua of good quality clothing, kids books, toys, nappies, dvds, etc.
Larger ticket items such as furniture and whiteware can be collected by our partner agencies if they are in the Northern suburbs to Porirua region and have clients requiring them at the time they are offered to us.
Food and non food donations are taken back to our warehouse, sorted and boxed ready to be distributed to budgeting clients, local schools, foodbanks, the night shelter for the homeless, the soup kitchens, Women's Refuge to name a few agencies.
We do not sell anything that you donate to us but pass it on for free to clients of our charity partners. Please Note: We do not select the families to be assisted; this is done by our charity partners who distribute the produce and goods we supply to them.
