About the New Zealand Food Network:
The New Zealand Food Network (NZFN) is a not-for-profit organisation, launched in July 2020, with funding from the Ministry of Social Development, to address the growing issue of food insecurity in Aotearoa.
With distribution centres in Auckland, Christchurch and a produce operation in Hawke’s Bay, it acts as New Zealand’s national food rescue facilitator, collecting quality bulk surplus and donated food from food producers, growers and manufacturers and redistributing it to 61 food hubs (food rescue organisations, iwi, foodbanks and charities) across the country, so that they may feed the communities they serve.
It connects food surplus to food demand – efficiently and safely capturing then redistributing surplus and donated food nationally, thereby preventing the environmental menace of food going to landfill – and ensuring a positive social impact by getting it to where it’s needed most.
