Pātaka kai are community pantries, set up for neighbours, by neighbours.
They're there so that if you need a cup of sugar, or you're running a bit light on food for the kids' breakfasts tomorrow, there's a judgment-free place for you to grab something, 24/7.
Swanie Nelson is the founder of this initiative and joins us to explain more.
