Donate a Meal
Donate $20 to help feed a whānau
Can you donate $20 to help feed a whānau, and ensure they can have a break when they need it most? Join our friends at Mills Albert and Wellington Rugby in supporting your local community.
“Bellyful is literally a lifesaver. I was at the end of my tether when I got in touch with you. The person coming to my house with a bag of food made me cry. It was just so wonderful. And the food was delicious. We felt like we hit the jackpot.”
$20 feeds a whānau
Your $20 donation will cover all the costs of getting a local whānau a yummy meal for two. Bellyful will provide a family-favourite macaroni cheese, a nourishing lasagne or bolognese, warming soup or delicious vege curry.
Your donation makes a difference. Bellyful recipients say the break from the pressure of cooking allows them to focus on caring for their baby, spend quality time with their other children – and some even manage to get a little more sleep!
Help us feed exhausted whānau with a yummy ready to heat and eat meal by donating $20 now.
“Thank you to the amazing organisation that makes Bellyful. Because of this service, we were able to concentrate on our baby in NICU and our toddler at home without stress and worry! Thank you for everything during our tough time.”
Want to know more about Bellyful?
Bellyful cooks and delivers free meals to whānau, with babies or young children, who need support. Last year alone, over 600 volunteers cooked and delivered 34,742 meals to 5,762 whānau all over New Zealand.
Bellyful is a nationwide organisation. We have 25 branches – seven in the South Island and 18 in the North Island. More than 250,000 meals have been delivered since being founded in in 2009 in Franklin (south of Auckland) by Jacqui Ritchie. You can read her story here.
Meals are cooked by a team of volunteers in a Cookathon, then packaged and frozen. Referrals are received from Plunket nurses, midwives, community social workers, family and friends and recipients themselves. Meals are then delivered by volunteers.
We are incredibly grateful for the community support – together we’re filling bellies across Aotearoa. Kei runga noa atu!
