Volunteer with us

Volunteers are the heart and soul of KiwiHarvest – we simply couldn’t do what we do, or grow without you. So we make sure that volunteering with us is fun and rewarding too.

Thanks to the overwhelming support of so many amazing people, our volunteer programme in Auckland is currently full.

Our volunteer programme in Dunedin has vacancies. We would love to hear from you. Our contact details are foodrescue.dunedin@kiwiharvest.org.nz.

It’s important to us that we’re able to provide every KiwiHarvest volunteer with a rewarding role, and the support to thrive in that role, and that we maintain a full quota of fantastic volunteers.

If you’d like to help us out in the future when we have the capacity to involve more volunteers in our work or when we have openings, please sign up to our volunteer mailing list below, and we will be in touch.

Cooking for a Cause

Cooking for a Cause is KiwiHarvest’s unique team building experience where everyone wins!

Working together under the guidance of a professional Chef for a Cause in a commercial kitchen environment, your team will cook from mystery boxes of rescued produce for the ultimate food rescue challenge! Cooking up goodness over 3 or 4 hours, we will prepare delicious meals that we will package for delivery to nourish families and individuals in need.

Not only will you save good food from landfill and feed people who are struggling, but the funds generated from your participation in our team building programme will also support KiwiHarvest’s core food rescue operations.

To discuss your next team building event, please call Ingrid on 0800 601 609 or email events@kiwiharvest.org.nz.
