Help me celebrate my birthday by helping me help others. Look out for each other and bring people together over food. Too easy

Auckland

Hey friends,

So this year, instead of being out and about celebrating my birthday, I will be, on May 9th, with the rest of you, still locked down in Alert 3.

As much I will miss all those shouted shots of tequila, all those unnecessary extra dishes ordered for the table, and the thoughtful gifts from my nearest and dearest, I will still be celebrating with you distantly and look forward to bigs hugs when we can :)

In lieu of buying me drinks, food, and gifts, my wish is for you to give whatever you can to the charity that has become my life and my passion - Everybody Eats.

We are excited to be opening up as soon as it's safe to do so to continue feeding bellies not bins but we can't do it without the generous help of donations from those who can afford to pay it forward.

All I want for my birthday this year is for food not to go to waste and our communities not to go hungry.

Oh and by the way, when we've kicked this virus to the kerb, it's dinner for all at mine!

Use of funds

Any funds raised will help Everybody Eats continue to rescue perfectly good food from going to waste, and will enable us to serve even more nutritious and delicious meals to those who need it

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
