Food Support For Every Season
Our food support services are here to help during life’s hardest seasons. Find out more about how we can support you below, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need assistance.
Our Food Bank is no longer open to the public, we now exclusively supply partner organisations with pantry staples. See below a list of local organisations that you can reach out to for food support. Thank you for your understanding. • Salvation Army Albany Bays – 90 Rosedale Road. - Food parcels: Call (09) 478 7567 first - by appointment only - Vege Parcels: Wednesdays from 10 – 11.30am - Share Table: Fridays 9.30 – 11am bread etc • Lifeboat Community Trust – Rita 022 6511240 - Food parcels by arrangement • Goodworks Trust - Crisis and emergency food parcels and Social Supermarket: referral from agency /budgeter /support worker etc. • Pataka kai - Community pantries – local ones are at St Mary-By-The-Sea in Torbay, Browns Bay Presbyterian Church, and Albany Community Hub • Life Community Kitchens - Life Church - Community meals run in Northcote, Birkdale, Beachhaven
We partner with Kiwi Harvest—along with support from our local college, bakeries, fruit and veg stores, and our own garden—to provide fresh produce to our community every Wednesday in cafewindsor. While the selection varies each week, there’s usually a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, some poultry, milk, and other fresh produce for you to choose from and take home to enjoy with your family.
Our doors open at 10.30am. You’re very welcome to come early, enjoy a cuppa, and have a chat while you wait. Please remember to bring a couple of bags to carry your produce.
We couldn’t provide the food support we do without your generosity and help! There are three great ways you can get involved:
1. Financial contributions
2. Donating food or produce—pantry staples, fruits, veggies from your garden, and more
3. Joining our compassionate catering team to help prepare and make frozen meals
If you’re able to support us in any of these ways, please reach out to our team using the form below. Let us know how you’d like to help, and we’ll be in touch with the next steps.
Every little bit makes a big difference—thank you for being part of this important work!
