Community

At Otao Kitchen, we believe food has the power to connect, inspire, and uplift. We're proud to support charities, schools, and community organisations through hands-on culinary experiences, donations, and event partnerships.


Kids in Philanthropy (KiP)

We are honoured to support Kids in Philanthropy, one of Australia’s most dynamic not-for-profit organisations. KiP empowers children and families through hands-on experiences that foster empathy and social responsibility.

As a food-focused business, we love collaborating with Zoe and the KiP team to deliver cooking-based charity events, fundraisers, and learning experiences. It’s a meaningful way for our team to contribute to the community — and something we all deeply enjoy.

Community Festivals & Events

Festivals enrich our neighbourhoods. They bring people together, spark local pride, and support small businesses. We’re proud to participate in and support cultural and community festivals across North Richmond and Abbotsford, contributing to a stronger and more vibrant local economy.
