our mission

Two Big Problems. One Clever Solution.

Put simply, we collect good food before it goes to waste and get it to those in need.

KiwiHarvest reduces the negative impacts of food waste on our environment by redistributing excess food; helping to create lasting positive social change by nourishing those in need.

Every month KiwiHarvest rescues 170,000 - 200,000Kg of good quality surplus food, and diverts this back to people who are struggling across New Zealand.

Naku te rourou, nau te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi – with your basket and my basket the people will live. - Maori Whakatauki.
