New Zealand is facing a cost-of-living crisis with the number of New Zealanders needing to access food banks dramatically increasing. 14% of New Zealand’s population is considered to be in need of assistance to provide food for their families each week. We are aiming to collect 1 million cans or non-perishable food items during a week in June (9th to 15th). This will be the largest ever food collection campaign in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Rotarians at work:
Rotary is proud to be supporting Kiwi Harvest.
Over 30 banana boxes of groceries (1,600+kgs or $5,600 worth ) were collected by the Rotary Club of Dunedin Central as part of their "Random Act of Kindness Day". That's an enormous amount of food. The groceries have been given to KiwiHarvest to distribute to food banks in Dunedin. Another excellent Rotary initiative.
