Local baker, Vonz Kaukau, who runs a rēwana bread business is now baking loaves for the Martin Street foodbank. He says that being able to contribute in this way means a great deal to him as he knows personally what it’s like to struggle.

Local resident Anna McMartin offered her assistance after seeing the news about Vonz earlier this month, where he bakes the bread from home and then sells it from Kokiri marae in Seaview, Lower Hutt. Anna buys Vonz’s bread and then transports it up to the foodbank in Upper Hutt. She put up a post on Facebook seeing if anyone wanted to help support the idea and in the first day she’d received about $1000 which in turn would go to supporting the foodbank for weeks, if not months.
