    At WELLfed, we believe in the power of kai to strengthen and nourish communities. Today, we want to take a moment to say thank you to the incredible donors who make this possible.

    The generosity and kindness of our supporters powers everything we do. Whether it’s a small contribution or a larger donation, each and every dollar plays an essential role in supporting our mission. It’s a reminder that when we come together as a community, we can achieve amazing things.

    Thanks to donations via Givealittle, we’ve been able to cover some of the essential costs that keep our programs running. For instance, donations have helped us purchase vital ingredients that aren’t available through food rescue, equipment for our teaching kitchen and helped us manage crucial overhead costs, like paying the power bill to laundry expenses. These may seem like small details, but they’re the foundation that allows us to operate effectively and focus on our mission.

    Your donations make a tangible impact, and we see the results every day in the smiles, skills, and connections formed in our kitchen.

    So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Your support inspires us. Together, we’re building stronger, more connected communities—one meal, one conversation, and one act of kindness at a time.

    If you’d like to continue following our journey, or if you know others who share our vision, we’d love for you to stay in touch - sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social media.

  • Kia ora WELLfed Givealittle Supporters!

    Term 3 was another massive term at WELLfed. We had 21 Learners graduate after two terms as part of our cooking programme, with a number also participating in our WELLfed plus activities including first aid, parenting courses, and our new garden workshops.

    The amazing donations received via our Givealittle page helped us provide each WELLfed Learner a pack of fresh fruit and vegetables to take home from class each week. These packs are always very well received by our Learners and discussions flow around the best way to eat and use any unfamiliar produce (some weeks this included fruit like tangelos, quince, and pawpaw) as well as how good the rest of the delicious produce was - especially the red potatoes which were beautiful when roasted or baked!

    In graduation week, we labelled all of the produce supplied with their te Reo Māori names and practised using the correct words in class as part of our Te Wiki o te Reo Māori celebrations.

    With food costs at an all-time high, especially with fruit and vegetables having increased 22% in the past 12 months (RNZ, May 2023) it is extremely positive that our fantastic Givealittle donors can help us provide these packs to nourish our Learner whānau.

    Thank you Givealittle donor whānau!
