Give hope one meal at a time.
Right now, 1 in 5 people in Aotearoa are struggling to get access to enough good, nutritious food.
The current cost of living crisis means that people who were already struggling to make ends meet with increasing costs of housing, transport, power and other basic essentials, are now finding there is no money left for food.
We rely on donations from our community to provide food parcels to Aucklanders who are struggling to put food on the table.
Help us Feed It Forward. Organise a food drive in your community, church, school or work place.
Want to get started?
We have three packages you can choose to Feed It Forward: donate actual food, donate online or do both.
We have resources below to help you share your Feed It Forward fundraiser.

You can donate online to support our food programmes. You can either make a one-off donation, or set up your own fundraising page and encourage your friends, family, colleagues etc to donate.
