Food Parcels
If you are in need of food assistance, please visit our Directory to find a foodbank in your local area and contact them directly to apply for a food parcel. Each foodbank has its own application critera so it is best to call first.
PLEASE NOTE: We don't issue food parcels through our website.
Note: All foodbanks are closed during the weekends and public holidays unless otherwise stated. The majority of foodbanks in NZ do not deliver so you will need to arrange transport. We suggest you bring your own shopping bags too.
Please bring your Photo ID and Proof of Address such as a power bill or other document in your name to your appointment. You may need to supply a referral from Work & Income or other social agency/provider.
If you are working or in receipt of a benefit, please call Work&Income on 0800 559 009 to check if you are entitled to any food assistance first. You may also be entitled to accommodation or temporary additional support if you meet certain criteria.
Donate
The foodbanks have faced an unprecedented demand for food parcels this year and are struggling to meet this need. If you would like to support your local foodbank you can make a financial donation of any amount using their online payment gateway or by bank deposit.
If you wish to donate any food items, please contact your local foodbank to arrange delivery. If you have commercial quantities of food you wish to donate, please get in touch with the Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance.
Community Service
If you are in need of budgeting advice, family services or other Government and community agencies we have provided links where you can be taken directly to their websites for more information and assistance. If you would like to list your agency or service on this page please Contact Us
