A Hamilton community service expected to pick up 500 kg's of unwanted food yesterday from the likes of restaurants and cafes to redistribute.

It ended up collecting two tonnes, which has been redirected to feed crisis centres throughout the city.

It's called Kaivolution and started up just before last lockdown.

Manager Jo Wrigley told Kate Hawkesby Delta has made their job even tougher than previously.

“There’s an awareness about how contagious or how easily transmittable it is, so trying to keep that distance while doing the thing.”
