Front-line agencies are the referrers, so we know that recipients are not only in legitimate need, but are also accessing wrap-around professional support.

We use the Aotoearoa food parcel meaure - AFPM. Enough food for 4 days including fresh produce, snacks and meats. We also provide toiletries, baby care items and accommodate special dietary requirements such as gluten free and vegetarian and non cooking or non perishable (suitable for those with no address or limited facilities).

“The GWT food bank has been an important resources to access for some of my clients. Their quick service and ability to deliver has greatly helped those in need while ensuring clinical hours are not taken up by unnecessary travel”

LD - RN, Adult Community Mental Health Services North.

I applied for a client at 12:50pm, and promptly received a confirmation within a matter of minutes that a food parcel would be delivered that day. My client sent me positive feedback at 3:30pm to confirm that they had received a food parcel with an abundance of essential items, fresh, frozen and non-perishable food. This alleviated significant pressure from my client, and resulted in her children having nutritional food on their table. This service is invaluable.
