After overwhelmingly positive feedback and a heck of a good time, in 2023, Te Aro Eats: Uniting Kai Communities is back for its second year at CubaDupa!

Te Aro Eats is a collaborative and interactive dining experience where you are invited to connect with fellow diners, volunteer in the meal mahi, and take time to enjoy the delicious kai that has been created to show what is possible when we mahi together.

Brought to life by the volunteers and staff at Seeds to Feeds, Everybody Eats, The Free Store, Wellington Timebank, Kaibosh Food Rescue, and with the support of Kaicycle, BGI (Wellington Boys and Girls Institute), Neighbours Aotearoa, Commonsense Organics and Wellington City Council.

Saturday: 12 pm - 2 pm | 4 pm - 6 pm
Sunday: 12 pm - 2 pm
Each session open to all

This meal is designed to showcase how our community-focused organisations operate and welcome volunteers. This will be inclusive  (easily catering to vegetarians, vegans, gluten intolerances, and allergies), and created to share the story of our kai and our people.

Admission is by koha, either monetary or with time or resources towards the mahi. 

While dining you will be encouraged to meet the guests dining with you, to connect and share stories. We will have activities that create moments of fun, excitement and conversation. 

We can not wait to welcome you into this special space and share some delicious community kai with you.
