When I made the fish tacos, three or four guests came up to me, gave me that look and said, ‘this is very good, very delicious, very tasty.’ They were congratulating and thanking me and the Pantry for serving such a delicious meal. When I have fish or seafood as an ingredient to work with, I put my magic to it and get to watch all of our participants enjoy it.

155 is a place where people can come in and have a cup of tea and a chat. No problem is too tough, hard, too big or too small. There’s always a listening ear and a keenness to see people well and safe. There’s courageousness too. If there’s a gap, 155 will fill it.

This week my tāne and I had to choose between keeping the heater on for his renal failure situation or having kai on our table. Thank you for making both possible. We are humbled and grateful.
