🙏 Thank You From Us At The Hangi Cartel 🙏

What a year it has been.

As we reflect on this incredible year, we are truly humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude for every single one of you who has supported us on this journey. From our humble beginnings with my kids and a small table setup at our local library to having trained staff on board that can proudly roll around in our very own food trailer, your love and support have been the fuel that powered us through every challenge and milestone.

We started with a simple dream and a whole lot of determination. There were days when selling even a single hangi felt like a mountain to climb, but because of your belief in us and our kai, we sold over 5,000 hangi this year alone! A number that still amazes us and pushes us to keep growing and improving.

What was once a one-man operation has blossomed into a dedicated team, each member bringing their unique skills and heart to make sure every hangi we serve is nothing short of spectacular.

To every customer, every word of encouragement, every shared meal, and every moment spent with The Hangi Cartel, thank you for believing in us and empowering us to turn a vision into reality.

This is just the beginning. We have so much more to create, to share, and to serve. From our whanau to yours thank you for being part of our story.

Last but not least, all glory to God 🙏

Let's continue into 2026 with more flavor, more community, and more growth!

Happy New Years

Thank you so much for this heartfelt and generous spotlight on us here at The Hangi Cartel. It’s truly humbling to be recognized as part of the Piki te Kaha whānau and to support such an incredible kaupapa that uplifts our tamariki and whānau with such aroha and care. For me, this partnership is more than just sponsorship, it’s about whanau, community, and giving back in ways that matter.

Being involved as a Coach and Committee Member allows us to walk alongside our tamariki, guiding them not only on the field but in life, ensuring we uphold the values that bind us all together: Kaha, Ora, Māramatanga, and Rāngimarie. Our hope at The Hangi Cartel is to nourish both body and spirit, serving kai that brings people together while supporting a deeper vision of belonging and growth.

We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Piki te Kaha, sharing in the responsibility to create opportunities that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in tikanga Māori. To everyone who supports us by enjoying our hāngī and kai, thank you for helping us contribute to this beautiful circle of care and connection. It takes a village to raise a child and I'm blessed with the best 💗

Ngā mihi nui mō te aroha me te tautoko. Kia kaha tātou katoa!

🌟 Sponsor Spotlight: The Hangi Cartel!

We’re excited to shine a light on The Hangi Cartel, whose support helps keep our kaupapa strong and our tamariki thriving. Known for bringing authentic, flavour packed kai to the community, The Hangi Cartel serves manaakitanga in every dish!

But their contribution goes far beyond sponsorship. Kereama is not only the driving force behind The Hangi Cartel, he’s also a Coach and Committee Member for Oranga Wairua! His commitment shows up on and off the field: guiding our kōtiro and tamariki with skill and aroha, and helping shape the policies and decisions that keep our programme safe and up hold our values; Kaha, Ora, Māramatanga and Rāngimarie.

Why PTK values this partnership
🏠 Whānau-first values: The Hangi Cartel is whānau‑led and operated, just like Piki te Kaha. Their sponsorship reflects the same commitment we hold, supporting tamariki and whānau so that opportunities are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in aroha.

🌟 Leadership in action: Kereama’s multiple roles as a Sponsor, Coach, and Committee Member means the business isn’t just giving financial support, it’s actively shaping the growth and vision of the programme. That’s leadership embedded in everyday practice.

🤝 Community connection: By fueling the community with kai and weaving together food, sport, and whānau, The Hangi Cartel strengthens the social fabric that PTK depends on. It’s not just a business transaction, it’s a relationship grounded in tikanga Māori and shared responsibility.

Next time you’re craving authentic hāngī with all the sides, show your support by visiting The Hangi Cartel. Sponsorship is one thing, but every purchase is another way to back the people who are backing us.

The Hangi Cartel and its founder Kereama aren’t just a business, they’re our guiding star 🌟
