Jacqui Jago

Branch Coordinator

My family has lived in Karori, Wellington, for more than 10 years and are very involved with our community through our children. I am lucky to be a stay at home Mum and at the start of 2011 I started Bellyful Karori, the first Bellyful branch outside of Auckland.

I love to cook for my family, for other families and to bake and I love what Bellyful has brought to my life and to my community.

Jacqui is married to Aaron and Mum to Ella and Paige, and is known for her fantastic baking.

If you’re contacted and asked to take part, keep in mind that it is voluntary, and the results will help shape future policy decisions. No personal information is asked for or required. The surveys will run through to September.

Kelly tells us more about why she volunteers for Bellyful West Auckland!

"I was a recipient of meals after I had my first daughter in 2017, and was really unwell. I was so blown away by it and wanted to pay it forward.

I love meeting the families, even during COVID deliveries it has been so rewarding to think I make even a little difference to the families. Now I’ve had two children I know how hard it can be to make sure you are eating with a newborn!"

Thank you, Kelly and all the volunteers who have shared their stories for National Volunteer Week.

To all our volunteers - we are incredibly grateful for everything you do, and know how much your communities appreciate you. Thank you!

In the final of our National Volunteer Week series

In the final of our National Volunteer Week series about our different volunteer roles, we have Social Media Volunteers!

They help keep our branch and Bellyful NZ pages fun, engaging and informative. This is a role that only takes an hour or so a week, maybe more if there is an event or special fundraiser on. You get as much support as you need, you just require a bit of social media nous and the ability to write punchy words / an eye for good visuals (and perhaps love to share a good meme!)

We definitely need a few more social media volunteers right now, both for Bellyful NZ and a few of our branches. Fill out the form at bellyful.org.nz/become-a-volunteer/ or email jacqui.stanford@bellyful.org.nz if you can help!

Delivery volunteers are the face of Bellyful! Wo

Delivery volunteers are the face of Bellyful!

Working with your Recipient Coordinator, you get to collect and deliver our frozen meals to the whānau who need them. All you need is a vehicle (or even a bike would work), driver’s licence, ability to find your way around your community – and of course a friendly face (even if it may be behind a mask)!

The time commitment for a Delivery volunteer is entirely up to you and what you can give.

Meet Karen - one of our star volunteers for Bellyf

Meet Karen - one of our star volunteers for Bellyful Tauranga, who shares her story this National Volunteer Week 😍:

"I have been volunteering for Bellyful Tauranga for just over a year now. I decided one day I needed to be doing more, as children were getting older and I had too much free time!

I am a childcare home-based worker so I could relate to how Bellyful would do Cookathons to help mothers out! And happened to see the ad for Bellyful online asking for volunteers and a meeting. I was welcomed in and felt comfortable straight away and joined a great team of ladies!

I enjoy cooking the meals monthly and have also just started being a driver. I love that I can help new mothers and provide them with a few cooked meals to ease the stress!"

If you really want to get to the heart of Bellyful

If you really want to get to the heart of Bellyful, helping out at a Cookathon is the place to be.

The main thing our Cookathon volunteers need is willingness to wear a hair net! As long as you’re prepared to roll sleeves up and pitch in with anything from chopping onions or making the perfect cheese sauce, to doing the dishes and labelling containers, you’re welcome! You do not have to be a chef, but some basic cooking skills help.

Cookathons are usually held around once a month and take up to about four hours, though this varies from branch to branch depending on their size.

You can sign up here to become a Cookathon volunteer, most of our branches would love a few more helping hands: https://bellyful.org.nz/become-a-volunteer/

Eileen is Bellyful Dunedin's fabulous Recipient Co

Eileen is Bellyful Dunedin's fabulous Recipient Coordinator. She shares the personal reason she began volunteering for Bellyful:

"I went to visit my daughter after her third baby in Auckland. Sadly they ended up in NICU for a couple of weeks and then went home on oxygen 24/7. Bellyful provided meals for them.

I hadn't heard of Bellyful before that. When I was returning to Dunedin, an old school friend met me at the airport. She apologised for smelling of onions as she had just been preparing them for Bellyful meals.

This prompted me to see if there was a branch in Dunedin. And yes there was. So I started going to meetings, Cookathons and doing Deliveries, before becoming Recipient Coordinator.

I love that I am working with an amazing group of women that never hesitate to accept delivery requests and that the Cookathon team will do a second cook if we are running short. We have had a huge demand for meals this year and unfortunately our cupboard has been bare a couple of times.

Eileen says it feels good to help new mums who are time poor and families that need a hand.

"I have a great respect for Bellyful volunteers."

Our volunteers truly are stars, thank you to Eileen and to all our volunteers this National Volunteer Week!

There is another group of volunteers we'd like to

There is another group of volunteers we'd like to send a special thank you to this National Volunteer Week - our Board of Trustees.

Today in our series looking at the different Belly

Today in our series looking at the different Bellyful volunteer roles, we are focusing on our branch Treasurers.

They’re in charge of making sure their branch keeps good financial records, is financially stable and following all the reporting rules. They can also help with managing fundraisers (like sausage sizzles!) and grant applications. This is a very important role which requires a volunteer with good communication and organisational skills – and some book-keeping or accounting experience helps!

It takes about 1-2 hours a week and makes such a difference to help keep Bellyful running smoothly.

Thank you to all our Bellyful Treasurers!
