Nelson Community Food Bank Trust

Nelson Community Food Bank Trust

Last year we provided 3,751 parcels, feeding 12,752 people. We need your help so we can continue helping those in need in our community.

Nelson

The Nelson Community Food Bank delivers food parcels to families and individuals experiencing hardship in the Nelson/Tasman area.

We rely on the generosity of our community and our wonderful team of volunteers to provide food parcels to those in need.

We are facing unprecedent demand at the moment and need help to try and make sure that every family and individual in the Nelson/Tasman area has food to eat. In the first 4 months of 2026, we have feed 4416 people up 12% on the same period in 2025. Every dollar raised will go directly to the purchase of food.

We need your help. Large or small, every donation helps.

A donation of $55 can provide a food parcel for a family of 2, a donation of $100 can provide a food parcel for a family of 4 and a donation of $150 can provide a food parcel for a family of 7.

Larger donations can be used to purchase bulk quantities of pantry staples that will last us for weeks and ensure we can continue providing our vital service.

We really couldn't do what we do without your help. The Nelson Community Food Bank is incredibly grateful for any donation, small or large, and will do everything we can to make every dollar count. On behalf of everyone at the Nelson Community Food Bank, thank you.

2% Effective Fee
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.

Following the pōwhiri supporting Nelson Community Food bank at Whakatū marae on June 9th, English Language Partners would like to make a donation on behalf of the eight iwi in Te Tau Ihu: Rangitāne o Wairau Ngāti Kuia Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō Ngāti Toa Rangatira Ngāti Koata Ngāti Rārua Ngāti Tama ki te Tau Ihu Te Ātiawa o te Waka-a-Māui During this time of Matariki, we hope this donation supports those in need as we reflect on the past and look towards a brighter future. English Language Partners is proud to work alongside other organisations supporting community as we look at how we can best serve our former refugee learners and help them to thrive in and around Whakatū and Te Waiharakeke, just as Nelson Community Foodbank supports all whānau in the region.
