Food Champions
What are Food Champions?
Food Champions is about more than just food. It’s about helping people move towards lasting food security. By donating, you’re not just providing a meal—you’re empowering individuals and their communities with the tools and resources they need to keep food secure. It’s simple, impactful, and your ongoing support truly makes a difference.
The Food Champions programme is guided by the principles of Te Kai Mākona (TKM)—cooking, growing, buying, sharing, and connecting through kai. This holistic approach not only supports food access but also education, collaboration and resilience by allowing local foodbanks to act as community hubs.
What is Food Security?
Making sure that individuals have access to affordable, sufficient, and healthy food. It’s ensuring people are able to have food consistently and not just a one-off.

We’re reaching out! 📞 People like you are being called by The Salvation Army calling team. They are providing information about our Food Champions programme and offering you the chance to join.
This initiative offers an opportunity to play a pivotal role in supporting choices for those needing to use foodbanks. You also provide many opportunities for the individuals to move towards food security. Plus, through regular donations, you support our mission by raising awareness, mobilising resources, and helping to make a real and lasting impact in the fight against food insecurity.
We greatly value your ongoing support and believe this partnership could further amplify your contribution to ending families reliance on foodbanks.
