Te Umu ki Rangituhi 

Porirua’s First Social Supermarket

Te Umu ki Rangituhi will provide access to essential groceries. Whānau who access Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira social services will be supported to access the supermarket, and be able to select the groceries that best meet the needs of them and their whānau.

It is a safe space, without judgement and a lot of support. Both the Rūnanga and Foodstuffs recognize the challenges that people face from time to time. The hope is that by supporting them with positive opportunities will have a positive flow on effect.
