Meet the KiwiHarvest team 👋

Say hello to Charlie Gaunt, one of the friendly faces helping keep our Auckland warehouse running smoothly!

As our Warehouse Assistant, Charlie plays an important role in welcoming and supporting our amazing volunteers, keeping things organised and jumping in wherever and whenever she’s needed.

She’s also pretty handy on the forklift, helping move rescued food safely and efficiently through the warehouse and straight to our charity partners. 🤝

With her positive energy, can-do attitude and passion for people and food rescue, Charlie is such a valued part of the KiwiHarvest team.

We’re so lucky to have you on the team Charlie! 💚

A huge thank you to the Hugo Charitable Trust for their continued support of KiwiHarvest.

Their latest investment of a staggering $200,000 will enable us rescue and redistribute food with a retail value of just over $2 million. Close to 300 tonnes of food will go to communities around New Zealand, while also preventing almost 900,000kg of CO₂ emissions.

We’re so grateful to have partners like the Hugo Charitable Trust, who help us get more good food to the people who need it most.

🎉 Five years of KiwiHarvest Invercargill! This week we celebrated five years of rescuing good food and supporting our Southland community.

In that time, we’ve rescued an incredible 1.4 million kg of food, providing more than 3.1 million meal equivalents to people who need it.

It was wonderful to mark the occasion with Tom Campbell Mayor of Invercargillom Campbell, Haylee from Hayz At The Anchoragee Anchorage, our CEO Angela Calver, and many of the people who have helped make this work possible. We shared some rescued food, reflected on what we’ve achieved, and looked ahead to what comes next.

It’s a fantastic milestone, but we know there is still significant need across our community. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved over the past five years, and committed to doing even more. 💚

A huge thank you to our volunteers, food donors, charity partners and supporters who make it all possible.

What an amazing result from the 2026 North Shore Food Drive! Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our local community, KiwiHarvest collected:

💚 521 kg of food
💚 1,158 meal equivalents
💚 $4,262 of social good

Winter can be a tough time for many people, so the food collected will make a real difference to the charity and community groups we support on the North Shore.

Thank you to the wonderful organisations who opened their doors as collection points, and to everyone who kindly donated food items 💚

What if your donation could go 10 times further?

At KiwiHarvest, every $10 donated helps us distribute $100 worth of good food into the community.

This year, our supporters helped us rescue more than 4 million kg of food, prevent the release of 12 million kgs of CO2eq, distribute 9 million+ meal equivalents, support 220+ charities and provide $28 million+ worth of food free into the community.

And the impact goes beyond food. By providing food free to charities, we help them direct more of their resources towards the people and communities they support.

Your donation can do more with KiwiHarvest.

Last week, our Auckland hub was buzzing with teams from Goodman Group, AMP New Zealand, Lion Beverages and Babcock Australia & New Zealand.

They rolled up their sleeves to sort and pack rescued food, ready to reach the hundreds of charity and community organisations we support.

Our corporate partners are vital to what we do, their funding keeps our food rescue operation moving, while their people bring the hands-on support that gets good food from our warehouse and into communities.

Thank you to all our partners and their teams for giving not just their funding, but their time, energy and commitment. We couldn't do what we do without you!

Together, we’re making a real difference 💚

We’re proud to share that two of our team members were recognised at the AFRA Conference for their outstanding contribution to the food rescue industry!

💚 Seti Tuala, Food Rescue Driver, was recognised for an incredible 8 years of service, during which she has collected and redistributed more than 1 million kilograms of food to communities across Aotearoa.

💚 Sam Beaumont, Relationship Manager, was recognised for his 6 years of dedication to KiwiHarvest and his significant contribution to growing our network of Food Donors.

We’re inspired by Seti and Sam and the passion, commitment and impact they bring to KiwiHarvest every single day. Congratulations to you both!

The fuel crisis has added up to 3,000 to our monthly fuel costs. We still get food out every week to hundreds of charitable agencies around the motu, but we are feeling this cost increase.

So a special thanks to our Corporate Partner bp who have stepped up to help with funding shortfall. Their generosity helps keep our trucks on the road and enables us to continue doing what we do every day.

But that’s not all, the bp team rolled us their sleeves last week and got stuck in volunteering in our warehouse, helping us keep good food moving to people and communities across Aotearoa.

We’re incredibly grateful for the difference you help us make. Thank you bp! 💚

We’re really pleased to share our latest Annual Report, which tells the story of how rescued food creates an impact far beyond the food itself.

By providing food free of charge to community organisations, we help them stretch their resources further so they can focus on what they do best: supporting people and families across Aotearoa.

This year we’ve shared the stories of 12 charities across 12 different areas of community need, showing just some of the incredible work made possible through food rescue.

We also rescued and distributed 35% more food, while reducing the cost of rescuing each kilogram by 19%.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported KiwiHarvest over the past year. Your support helps us rescue more food, reach more communities and make a difference to families right across New Zealand.
