This is what Good Works Food Trust does :
What We Do…
The Good Works Trust Food Security Hub supports vulnerable and hard to reach whanau by offering a “Hand Up” rather than a handout. Transitioning whanau from dependence on food parcels towards agency over their food supply - tino rangitiratanga. Improving mana and self reliance.
Our hub provides crisis and emergency food parcels, operates a Social Supermarket, an annual Christmas Shopping program for vulnerable whanau - thanks to the generosity of the Lion Foundation, 60 school lunch kits a week to whanau across 8 North Shore schools not eligible for government funded lunches, and distributes resources to other community groups and organisations across the North Shore.
Crisis food parcels and access to the Social Supermarket require a referral from an agency or social worker budgeter or social support worker.
