A taste to remember north haven hospice

Food has a special way of holding our memories.

A favourite family recipe, a baking treat made for special occasions,or a dish prepared by someone we love can bring comfort, connection, and stories that live on long after the last bite.

‘A Taste to Remember’ is a simple, meaningful way to honour those memories while fundraising for North Haven Hospice and the care we provide to local families.

We're asking people to create their own Taste to Remember occasion to raise money for North Haven Hospice. Cafe's can participate too by selling an item or dish, that is either a recipe of a loved one, or a recipe they hope to be remembered for.

Info for you Info for café’s

Whether you’re gathering friends, whānau, workmates, or your wider community, A Taste to Remember invites you to share a dish, drink, or “taste” that holds meaning for you, and to turn that shared moment into support for hospice care.

We have a media pack for you to print and use at your event. Inside you will find everything you need to host your own Taste to Remember, including:

Ideas and inspiration for how to take part, from morning teas and potlucks to bake sales, dinners, or celebrations.
Invitation templates to help you invite others to join you.
An Authority to Fundraise letter for venues or workplaces.
Recipe cards for you and your guests to record your dishes and the stories behind them.

You’re invited to send completed recipe cards back to us to be included in our digital Taste to Remember cookbook, a growing collection of recipes, memories, and tributes shared by our community.

You'll also find:

Stars to mark recipes and identify who they are in memory of.
Space to write a quote or message about your loved one.
Social media tiles to help you share your event and memories online and encourage others to take part.
