The demand for food assistance in New Zealand is skyrocketing.

Kiwharvest rescue food unable to be sold and get it to families in need.

KiwiHarvest are running a Nationwide Fundraising Appeal – Fill the Hunger Hole. 

KiwiHarvest has been working tirelessly to support those in need, but we need your help now more than ever.  

Food rescue is the most cost-effective way to feed families in need, just $5 can provide a full day’s worth of meals for a family of four.  

For just $5, KiwiHarvest can feed an entire family. For the cost of one small coffee, we can provide four people with three healthy, nutritious meals for a day. It's a small amount, but it has a huge impact. Every donation helps us fill the hunger hole and provide families with the food they so desperately need.

A hungry child can’t focus, learn, or even play—and that affects them for the rest of their lives. But with your support, they can change this. Our Feed a Fam initiative is already making a difference, but more families need help.

Your donation doesn’t just fill hungry bellies, it also reduces food waste and supports sustainability efforts. By rescuing surplus food that would otherwise go to waste, KiwiHarvest ensures that families in need receive nutritious meals while also lessening the environmental impact of food waste. So, the only question left is, how many families will you feed today?
