🧐 Did you know The Daily Food produces, packs and delivers 2,300 school lunches every day?

We supply 2,100 meals to 8 schools/kuras in Te Puke under the gouvernment's programme Ka Ora, Ka Ako that follows strict nutritional guidelines.

In addition, we provide an extra 200 free lunches to 4 unfunded schools, towards students in most food needs.

That's about 460,000 school lunches per year, including 40,000 charitable lunches.

Research indicates that reducing food insecurity for children and young people:
🩵 Improves wellbeing
🩵 Supports child development and learning
🩵 Improves learners’ levels of concentration, behaviour and school achievement
🩵 Reduces financial hardship amongst families and whānau as they save $31 per child per week when receiving a healthy lunch
🩵 Addresses barriers to children’s participation in education and promotes attendance at school
🩵 Boosts learners’ overall health

🩵 Meet Chrissi Robinson, The Daily Charitable Trust General Manager

Chrissi was born and bred in Te Puke and discovered her passion for the community through attending local schools and growing up in a local church. Her involvement in grassroots organisations such as Te Puke Playcentre, (where she is a life member) inspired her on a deeper level to connect with and help the community thrive.

Also a founding trustee of The Daily Charitable Trust, Chrissi took the leap of faith in 2022 to move into the General Manager role. Right now, she feels like she is ‘living the dream’ doing a job she loves. This is where her passion for her town, organisational health and the power of collaborative skills can truly shine.

What really lights Chrissi up is spending time with whanau, learning Te Reo Maori, going to church, reading, knitting, yoga, walking the dogs down the farm, and supporting the local high school as Chair of the board.

🧐 Do you know our story?

In late 2014 a group of Te Puke locals formed The Daily Charitable Trust, with a vision to see a connected and thriving Te Puke community.
With the support of funders and our community we built a community facility, in the form of a social enterprise café, opening The Daily Café in 2016.

We provide a vibrant café, that gives support for community events, develops people and is a meeting place for the community. Outcomes identified in recent impact studies are:

🩵 Co-incidental, diverse and unexpected connections and initiatives
🩵 Low-key connections of community members to support resources
🩵 Facilitation community - bringing people together
🩵 Localised Kai Resilience
🩵 Increased belonging and connection
🩵 Better mental health - Spirit lifter
🩵 Increased satisfaction from helping community
🩵 Greater Te Puke collaboration - normalised support for each other's mahi
🩵 Community pride - people feel Te Puke is a supportive place to live
🩵 Feel supported to take risks and be brave
🩵 Stepping Stone for people's aspirations and future employment
🩵 Increased small business activity
🩵 Community cross-pollination

We at The Daily Charitable Trust are mourning the

We at The Daily Charitable Trust are mourning the passing of Richard Crawford. Our founder, chairperson, fix-it man, shoulder squeezer, encourager and chief ‘schmoozer’.

Richard always spoke of two very clear passions. One was his love for the town of Te Puke. He would say, ‘When I moved here, I decided I wanted to leave the town better than I found it’. The other reason was his love for Jesus and his firm belief that it is through encountering God’s love that people could truly thrive. Richard’s relationship with Jesus was daily, deep, and personal, a friendship developed over many years. He would have wanted people to know this… and that, simply, Jesus can be their friend too. We take comfort knowing that Richard’s life is not over, it continues in the presence of Jesus.

Like many grassroots organisations, The Daily Charitable Trust started with a group of friends around a dining table, and that is how we continued. So, Richard’s passing doesn’t just leave an empty seat at our Board table, Richard was most of all a dear, dear friend, and his absence from our lives is deeply felt.

We want to honour his wife Julie at this time, with our love to her and their children. Our heart is with all of them.

The Daily Cafe will be open for the rest of the week (however closed on Friday to attend Richard’s funeral). We are all so sad, so please come in if you need a cry, and love on our staff as we all mourn our loss together.
