Communities Feeding Communities
Communities Feeding Communities (CFC) is a Presbyterian Support Northern initiative dedicated to addressing the critical issues of food security and social cohesion in the Puketāpapa (Mount Roskill) area.
Located at Victoria Hall, 1207 Dominion Road, and using food as a powerful connector, CFC operates a Social Food Pantry (our version of a food bank).
We provide essential food support to PSN's services, partner organisations and emergency food support for people living in the Puketāpapa area. This support is delivered alongside a Pātaka Kai, community kitchen, and community gardens. Join us for our community lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11am.
What we offer
- Emergency food support is available on Tuesdays and Fridays, 10 am to 1 pm. Food parcels are provided through referrals from PSN services, partner organisations, or in emergencies for Puketāpapa residents. If you need more information about eligibility, please contact us here.
- Community gardens growing nutritious local kai to support our Social Food Pantry and Community Kitchen. Join our gardening sessions on Tuesdays 9.30am-11.30am and the last Saturday of each month, 10am-12pm. Sign up for our newsletter here.
- Community kitchen combining commercial and home-style elements - an inclusive space for group cooking, classes and workshops. Available for hire for groups for events. Email enquires here.
- Free budget guidance and support from a Family Works financial mentor.
