Tō mātou kōrero · Our story

More than a meal.
A place of belonging.

For over 125 years, Compassion Soup Kitchen — Te Pūaroha — has served anyone who walks through our doors, no questions asked. Every plate of kai carries the aroha of hundreds of volunteers.

The app is simply a warmer way to be part of that mahi: less admin, more time for the people in front of you.

He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is people, it is people, it is people.
