Whanganui Kai Hub

Our critical food rescue & distribution for Whanganui needs your support ! Hit DONATE, choose Monthly!→

Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui

We've had a hard year where we have faced potential closure many times over due to funding challenges. That is tough on the entire Whanganui community, especially the 17 partner organizations who rely on this rescued food every single day to feed people who need it!

BUT you can keep us open when you become one of the Monthly donors we need to keep our doors open! When you click "Donate" and choose a monthly, or weekly plan for $10 or more per month, you effectively:

• Pay for 7 meals worth of kai a month for a local child or adult in need

• Keep us rescuing food and delivering it to 21 Whanganui charities

• Earn a tax credit every month for your donation

Help us meet our goal of getting just 1% of Whanganui – 470 people – to join us, by filling in this quick form to become a monthly donor now by clicking the DONATE button now! →→

Please choose Monthly Option on the next page to become a regular donor! Ngā mihi!

P.S. More ways to help:

Spread the word: Share with whānau and coworkers... see how many you can get to join you as a donor!

Partnerships: Community is essential to survival of Kai Hub. If you have ideas for fundraising events or partnerships, please be in touch.

Single donations: Being a monthly donor won’t work for everyone – totally get it. So, if you have a single contribution to make, please choose that button.

Whiringa-ā-rangi / November Update 19 November 2025

Eryn here with the November update! Once again, a huge thank you for all your mahi in helping us keep our doors open, rescue kai, and deliver it to our amazing recipient organisations who get it straight to hungry folk. Thank you to everyone who has donated one off and to those who give weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Grant funding isn’t enough anymore, so we rely on the generosity of our community. We appreciate you so much.

We also had a few wins for the wallet this month. We received some awesome support from the fine folks at Z petrol stations, including being part of Good in the Hood, where customers get a token with every purchase to vote for a local charity.

We even got to celebrate with other local charities and the Dublin Street Z crew over a coffee and a snack. Thanks, Z!
