Get involved
Take action
We welcome anyone who would like to join us on our mission, to tackle food waste, and promote food security throughout Aotearoa.
It can be difficult to know where to start, but taking even the smallest of actions can make a positive difference. If you’re looking for ideas for how you could get involved with KiwiHarvest, or help tackle food waste and promote food security in your daily life, try one of the below:
Volunteer with us
We’re always looking for people to join KiwiHarvest’s volunteer army – or, if not ours, then look into ways you can support your local foodbank or food rescue organisations. Being a volunteer can make a real and positive difference to your life and the lives of others.
Raise funds
For every dollar we receive, KiwiHarvest can deliver three nutritious meals to communities in need. Consider getting together with friends, family or colleagues to raise some money, or perhaps donating in lieu of gifts on birthdays or holidays. It all makes a difference.
Reduce your food waste at home
There are many things you can do to reduce household food waste. Plan your shopping, plan your meals, use smaller portion sizes, store your food properly, know your “Best Before” dates, and use your leftovers – to name just a few. Check our resources page for more great ideas.
encourage others
Talk to family and friends about the things they can be doing to reduce their food waste, and start a conversation at your workplace about what you could collectively be doing to help address food waste and promote food security. If you can, don’t forget to talk to local, regional and national leaders about food waste and food security. The more people we have talking about our Kaupapa, the wider the message will spread – and the bigger difference we can make.
