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. 🩷

Sometimes, dinner is simply one thing too many. Donate or get behind a local pasta drive and help Bellyful show up for whānau with free meals and the reminder that they are not alone.

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:
