Bellyful Geraldine

Bellyful Geraldine Bellyful nourishes and connects communities by cooking and delivering free meals to whānau, with babies or young children, who need support.

Refer a whānau or yourself here: bellyful.org.nz/bellyful-branches/geraldine/ Our aim is to encourage whānau to accept help and support from their local community - just like our grandparents did! Parenting is hard work, so why not take all the help that’s offered? Let’s all help each other out and build a stronger community in the process. You can help us fill bellies by making a donation: bellyful.org.nz/donate-now/

THANK YOU! The full national Double Donation Day matching fund has been claimed! We are absolutely blown away by how you’ve shown up for Bellyful today and throughout September.

To everyone who has donated money, dropped off spaghetti, hosted a pasta drive or collection point, shared our posts and cheered us on, thank you! We’ve loved seeing our community get behind Spaghetti September. Every packet and every dollar helps us get meals to whānau who need support, ready for a day when cooking feels like too much.

A huge thank you to The Meat Box, Ignite wellbeing, My Office Girl Ltd and Silver Fern Farms for putting their support behind the match and stirring up good! We’ve brought home the bolognese!

Spaghetti September continues until the end of today and donations are still open. We’ll share a full Spaghetti September update soon. For now, thank you. We’re feeling all the love. 🩷

It’s on! Today is the final day of Spaghetti September, and you can double your donation to Bellyful RIGHT NOW!

Thanks to Silver Fern Farms, Ignite Aotearoa, My Office Girl and The Meat Box, donations made today will be matched dollar for dollar while matching funds last. Give $20 and it becomes $40. Give $100 and it becomes $200.

When you give, you help a whānau with a baby or young child open the freezer after a long day and find dinner already there. You give tired parents and caregivers a chance to sit down, eat - and breathe.

Let’s bring home the bolognese. Donate now: https://fundraise.bellyful.org.nz/event/spaghetti-september-2026

Tomorrow is the final day of Spaghetti September, and we’re going out big!

From 9am on Wednesday 30 September, four generous businesses will match donations to Bellyful dollar for dollar while matching funds last. Give $20 and it becomes $40. Give $100 and it becomes $200.

When you donate, you help put dinner in the freezer for a whānau running on empty. You take one thing off exhausted parents’ shoulders and show them somebody cares.

You’ve brought the pasta this September. Tomorrow, let’s bring home the bolognese too. 🩷

We would like to remind people that we have a freezer full of wonderful meals that we can deliver to people when they need it most. If you, or someone you know is experiencing a difficult time - a new baby in the family, family members with sickness and needing time out from the worry of preparing meals, please go to our website - Bellyful Geraldine, and make a referral. Our team of volunteers would then be in touch and work out a suitable time to deliver some tasty meals to you. We look forward to helping where we can.

A special thanks to Freshchoice Geraldine for continuing to provide fresh muffins for us to give out with our meals

Thank You Tievoli. To celebrate their 10th birthday Tievoli Trading asked their customers to nominate one of three local organisations. Each organisation received a generous donation, and at Bellyful Geraldine we are so delighted to have been selected as one of the lucky recipients. Thank you so much, our team appreciate your support. Regards, Lynley and Vicki - Co-Branch Coordinators, Bellyful Geraldine

This month, our communities are showing up in a big way.

Macaroni March starts today.

Across Aotearoa, people are hosting macaroni dinners, running pasta drives, baking for koha and rallying their workplaces — raising the funds that keep meals going out to families doing it tough.

When life gets overwhelming, a delivered meal is more than food. It’s knowing someone cares.

👉 Donate the cost of a meal today and help fill a freezer for a whānau who needs it:
