The Free Store - Te Aro
The Free Store was founded in November 2010 after an art project inspired a group of friends. Kim Paton, an artist from out of town, set up a regular-looking shop stocked with food on the shelves. The peculiar difference being that customers could simply take the food for free. The art project came and went within a matter of weeks but a group of Wellingtonians had their brains buzzing. After discovering that some of the food in this shop was surplus food sourced from local cafes they asked, what if this could be a sustainable food supply?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best from the best people. Two volunteers a day give for free, for everyone that makes the line, 4 pieces of bakery (2 salty and 2 sweet) plus some fruit and sometimes big loafs of bred. The food comes from generous restaurants, bakerys and cafes that donate it every day when they finish as they are things that they need to sell fresh. One day REAL they served canapes while making the line.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Make sure you have a bag with you and be prepared to stand in a line. Other than that this is an excellent place you can get free food fresh that day from various business around town.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Look, I haven't been to The Free Store yet - I simply did not know that you existed! I am one of those people who finds it hard to ask for help, but I will try - you sound like amazing people, and this tells me that there is still some good left in the world. Some of us are living through the most awful hard times.
