Bellyful Hibiscus Coast

Bellyful provides up to three nights of meals to whānau with babies or children under 12 who are facing challenges such as illness, bereavement, stress, isolation, pregnancy, miscarriage, or baby loss – regardless of financial situation. We help families without a support network. Our meals are generously cooked and delivered by volunteers, who will do their best to be in touch within five working days. Click here for other services if you need urgent help.

Please note: we have a wonderful and full volunteer team and can’t take any new volunteers right now. You can help our branch by making a cash donation or donating ingredients.

Branch Coordinator

Kia ora koutou.

I have lived on the Hibiscus Coast for 20 years, I first learned about Bellyful five years ago when the then Branch Coordinator, Kelly, came and spoke to the Hibiscus Coast Zonta Club. After that the club supported Bellyful with financial donations and a few of us helped out at some Cookathons. 

I really liked the sense of fun among the volunteers and the fact that we were doing something practical for our local community so it was fun with a purpose.

A phone call out of the blue presented the opportunity to apply for the Branch Coordinator role. It felt like exactly the right time to do it and I am looking forward to learning more about the role, the organisation and the people that make it all happen.
