Feed the Need NZ

Feed the Need NZ We aim to make a difference by feeding kiwi kids, one action at a time. We've been boosting little minds and tummies since 2012!

In our first 5 years we provided over 235,000 hot and healthy lunches to children in low-decile Auckland schools. We are now piloting a new Pātaka Programme - setting up food pantries in schools to provide emergency food assistance to children and their families.

There’s something pretty special about seeing young people show up for their community.

Recently, we visited Ormiston Senior College Interact Club, where they packed over 180 snack packs that went straight to another school. Such an awesome effort, and they even captured all their hard work on video!

When a school office shared their need, our volunteers had lunch packs ready the next week.
This is what happens when a community steps up.

The Dress Smart Auckland Team recently packed 150 lunch packs for Feed the Need, showing the incredible things a community can achieve when we come together.

We’re 100% volunteer-run and community-led, and so grateful for the support of local businesses.

Feed the Need NZ is pleased to welcome as the new chairperson, Monique MacKay. She has been a board member since November 2024 and served as deputy chair since December 2025. Monique takes over from Derek Good who has served as chair for the past 5+ years.

In her own words, Monique says:

"I care deeply about this work and know how very important it is. Supporting Tamariki and strengthening communities has always mattered to me personally, and I have a genuine desire and energy to help Feed the Need continue to grow and thrive with our board’s support."

We warmly welcome Monique and look forward to the next chapter of Feed the Need!

Volunteers make every delivery possible, and these students, carrying the boxes into school, are part of a bigger story of community and giving.

Smiles Delivered ✔️

Watching students’ faces light up as they receive a delivery of lunch packs reminds us why we do this. Every volunteer hour and donation goes straight where it's needed.

They didn’t do it for recognition.
But it deserves to be seen.

A youth group in Orewa choosing to serve.
360 lunch packs packed for schools to distribute where they’re needed most.

We’re so grateful for every single one of you.

This is community.

A big thank you to Flex Fitness Albany and their generous members for donating three boxes of food before Christmas.

These were turned into weekend packs (with a few extra treats) for families in need over the holiday period.

If your workplace or business would like to help by donating or running a fundraiser like this amazing team, we’d love to connect!

We are incredibly grateful to have been part of such a special initiative.

A huge thank you to Giving Machine Auckland for including Feed the Need, and to the other charity partners who serve with the very same care and aroha that we do.

Through Giving Machine, $39,894 was raised in Auckland and $114,898 across the whole of New Zealand over the holiday period, a powerful reminder of the generosity that exists within our communities!

Together, we can make a difference. 🤍
