The Foodbank Project

Introducing... The Foodbank Project.

The Salvation Army's Foodbank Project is New Zealand’s first online food donation shop, therefore it works in a very unique way. To donate, you can choose from a range of products that are most needed for food parcels. Items include fresh produce, meat and dairy items, as well as sanitary products and cleaning supplies. The platform is a secure eCommerce site so you can make your donation securely online.

Your donation is ordered weekly through Countdown who will then pack your order and deliver it free of charge to the nearest Salvation Army foodbank. Every item you donate is included in a food parcel which is given to people in need in your community. 

Countdown generously provides all food at cost, meaning your donations can go even further to help those in need.

After every donation you will receive a confirmation receipt of your donation as well as a reminder that your donation will be going directly to your nearest foodbank.

How it works:

Donors buy much-needed items through The Foodbank Project.	Countdown delivers donated items to foodbanks around the country.	Food parcels are picked up from Salvation Army foodbanks by Kiwis in need.	Your donations are helping to end food insecurity in New Zealand!
