Kohukohu Pataka Kai


This week I am sharing a little mural. On our last road trip through Kohukohu I spotted this Maori painted mural on the side of the local Pataka Kai (food pantry). In alot of the smaller towns people donate food and products into these square wooden boxes with shelves inside for other people who can come along and take what they need. It's all about caring for each other.

Linking up with Mural Monday.

No stigma and limits to only twice then you have to re-apply for help, like here.

I love the concept. We have little boxes like that in my city, but they are small boxes only, and the homeless have a tendency to clean the boxes out as soon as they are filled. I love the mural, though.
