Community Potluck Lunch

Event Description
Join us for a Community Potluck Lunch as part of Welcoming Week – Te Wiki o Manaaki Aotearoa.
This event is a chance for the Lower Hutt community to come together, share kai, and connect with others. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re new to the area or a long-time local.
Please bring a plate of food to share – it could be a cultural favourite, a family recipe, some baking, or simply some fruit.
If you can’t make it for lunch, you’re still invited to be part of the kaupapa by dropping off food the day before or on the morning of the event, helping to create a warm and welcoming table for the community.
Let’s celebrate the spirit of manaakitanga and the diversity that strengthens our community!
