On Monday 1 May, we're launching Make a Meal in May, our annual fundraising appeal. The idea is simple – get together with friends, family or workmates to share food, and donate to Kaibosh what you would have spent on a meal out.

The food Kaibosh rescues has a ripple effect in our community. It’s given out through more than 50 organisations around the Wellington region, where it ends up reaching thousands of people.

Now that we're well-established in the Hutt Valley, Kaibosh is looking for more volunteers to help with food rescue and food sorting. We talked to our volunteers Louise and Noel Lee to find out why they joined the team.
