"Feeding Hope, One Action at a Time"

We’re on a mission to feed hope to young Kiwis, one action at a time. Why? Because we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, thrive and become amazing.

Did you know that 1 in 5 Kiwi kids* don’t have access to enough food or healthy food? It’s hard for kids to learn, grow and feel good about themselves when they are going hungry. That’s why we’ve made over 235,000 hot, healthy lunches for children in low-decile Auckland Schools since 2012.

We’re now ‘feeding the need’ in a new way. Our school lunch programme will be replaced by a new Pātaka programme that supports schools to establish food pantries. This year we are piloting Pātaka in 4 schools to provide emergency food to children and their families in times of need.

Our school lunch mission will continue as we throw more energy into advocating for a state-funded school lunch system to be established in New Zealand.
