Our purpose at Under the Stars is to increase access to kai for the homeless and those in need within our Tauranga community. We believe that providing a meal in a compassionate, judgment-free environment is what truly creates change.
Our work is guided by five strategic pillars to ensure we deliver on this promise with integrity and impact:
- Our Guests: We priortise respect and genuine connection, ensuring our guests are supported and connected with other local organisations.
- Our Volunteers: We provide an engaging experience where our volunteer base can develop their skills and knowledge.
- Sustainable Funding: We are focused on developing sustainable funding sources to secure our future.
- Operational Excellence: We strive to be waste-free, operationally resilient, and scalable in everything we do.
- Good Governance: We adhere to good governance principles, promoting equity and diversity to ensure the longevity of the organization.
