Life Kitchens feed the community | Otara

Powered by LIFE Community, these kitchens have been serving thousands across Auckland with dignity, compassion, and hope for the past decade. With 10 kitchens running across the city, they provide more than just food – they create community and connection for families who might otherwise miss out.

Angelical Lall reflects on why she and Andrew continue this mahi:

“There is so much need out there, people are struggling like never before, financially, mentally and emotionally. People are looking to feel seen, to be loved and to feel like they have a place in this world.”

She adds:

“Growing up in a big pacific island family… my childhood would of been much different had I not needed to worry about adult issues like how we will be fed tonight, will my brothers and sisters get to eat, or my mum and dad who worked 3 jobs.”

And a challenge for us all:

“If each person did one small act of kindness to bring hope into this world how much better off would we be? How much better would people’s wellbeing be? How much more could our children enjoy their childhood?”
