West Winter Food Drive
Let’s shift the dial on food insecurity out in West Auckland. Together.
Let’s shift the dial on food insecurity. Together.
The West Winter Food Drive is an emerging initiative to support hard working food banks, pantries, pātaka, and social supermarkets during the winter season where budgets are a bit tighter and times are a bit tougher.
We want to work with any organisation or church out West who can help. Maybe you are one of those organisations running a food programme and can be a distribution partner? Or maybe you are happy to sign up as a collection point?
Sign up below!
With special thanks to Visionwest who will be picking up and transporting goods between collection and distribution centres.

How we can help
-
Promotion
We need everyone to spread the word far and wide for people to donate approved items. This might look like sharing to your organisation’s social media platforms, or your email list, or putting a poster on your notice board.
-
Collection
We need organisations and churches to sign on as drop-off points for food items. If you have space in your building to collect boxes, this is a really easy way to help out.
-
Distribution
There is room for more distribution centres on the list. If you have an existing food donation programme running through your organisation or church and would like to help out, please get in touch!
