Food is a powerful tool for creating connection and building community and benefits those who come together to prepare and serve the kai, just as much as those that come to consume the kai. Across the country, Salvation Army centres offer a wide range of programmes with food at their heart that create individuals who may be socially or physically isolated or experiencing food insecurity. Through sharing warm and nourishing kai together we can help strengthen community connection and food security. Connecting through kai takes on many different forms that reflect the unique needs of our communities, from school lunch programmes to street BBQs and hangis, drop in centres and community meals, we see the positive impact of connecting communities through kai.
