As the price of food continues to skyrocket, a new food co-op has launched in Auckland as a foodbank alternative.

The Kiwi Kai co-op is a Salvation Army initiative and aims to provide sustainable food solutions in Manurewa.

The Army's Manurewa Corps Officer Captain Stephen Molen explains to Jesse how it works.

Co-op members all gather once a week to pack the food boxes together in a warehouse next to the Clendon family store.
