Help Kaibosh find a new home

Following the November 14, 2016 earthquake, Kaibosh’s Wellington City branch was evacuated. We were without a base for around four months and eventually secured a year-long sublease in Mount Cook. This will be expiring at the end of January 2018 so we are currently searching for a new premises for our next (and hopefully forever) home.

Below is what we’re looking for – we’d love to hear of any leads.

Must have

• Location: ideally CBD to Newtown, with Wellington suburbs also a possibility.
• 50 square metres of clear space for food sorting area.
• An additional 50+ square metres of clear space to install a walk-in chiller room, free-standing chillers and chest freezers.
• On-site but separate office space for at least 5 workspaces.
• 3 x car parks.
• Independent access – 24 hours, 7 days.
• Garage / loading bay with direct access to food sorting area (suitable for trolleys).
• Well-lit, safe entrance (for after-hours volunteers).
• Kitchenette.
• Available in January 2018

Nice to have

• Natural light.
• Additional car parks.
• Option for keypad lock at main entrance.
• Lino or concrete flooring in food sorting and storage areas.
• Existing shelving and storage space.
• Existing walk-in chiller room.
• Commercial sink for cleaning crates.
• On-site but separate meeting room (ideally large enough for 12-seater board table).
• Fast, reliable internet.
• Space to store pallets of food and operate forklifts.
• Single-storey or low-rise building.
