Your lasting impact

At KiwiHarvest we solve two problems with one clever solution, we rescue good surplus food waste and deliver it to people in need. Just $5 donated enables us to rescue over 5kg of food and feed a family for a day.

Imagine being able to help us continue to rescue over 200,000kgs of food every month, which then allows us to provide over 444,000 meal equivalents.

Your support will help us to prevent tons of food from rotting in landfills, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and preserves the resources that went into producing that food.
