Curated List by Susie Robertson, Chief Exec of Kaibosh

Having rescued and re-distributed over 4 million kgs of quality kai to over 140 charity groups, in 15 years, Kaibosh really are living up to their mission of Zero Food Poverty, Zero Food Waste.

A staple in the Wellington food scene, this year Kaibosh are running the first ever VWOAP Disco Soup event to feed the community. What you may not know is that they are also based in Pito-one and Paraparaumu, because being part of the communities they serve is important for building relationships. Find out more at kaibosh.org.nz or sign up for their bi-monthly newsletter.

What's on Susie's 2024 festival wishlist?

Visa Woap 2023 is over :-(

Well, almost! Venues may continue to serve their delicious burgers for a bit longer. Keep an eye on their social channels to find out if your favourite is still available. We'll keep all listings live until 30 September so you can reminisce about your festival burgs.
