Take one thing off their plate this Christmas

This Christmas, you can take one thing off a whānau’s plate by gifting nourishing, ready-to-heat family meals through Bellyful. Donate meals directly, or gift meals in someone’s name and either email an e-card or download it to print or share.

Christmas can add more to an already overloaded plate — extra costs, extra pressure and very little rest. Some whānau with babies and young children are doing it tough without a support network, and even getting dinner on the table can feel like too much.

Bellyful volunteers cook and deliver full, ready-to-heat family meals to families who need relief most. Your support this Christmas helps stock our freezers and deliver meals, taking one thing off their plate when they need it most.

Choose your impact: $20 = 1 meal • $60 = 3 meals • $100 helps fill a Bellyful freezer

Make It a Christmas Gift

Make a donation to Bellyful in someone’s name — a meaningful Christmas gift that brings real relief to a whānau who needs it most.

After you choose your gift, you can download an e-card to print, wrap up, or share yourself, or email it directly to the lucky recipient.

Either way, they’ll know their Christmas gift is helping take one thing off an overloaded plate, by delivering full, ready-to-heat family meals to whānau with babies and young children who are doing it tough without a support network.

The difference your donation makes

“Bellyful meant my husband could have readymade meals as partners aren’t fed in the children’s ward ... It meant he could come to the hospital after work."

"Bellyful supported us in a way we could not articulate aside from saying you actually kept us afloat in what felt like a sinking situation. Thank you doesn't cover it.”

“I cried when receiving both my deliveries … thank you for allowing a wee breath amidst some challenging times.”

"Having the peace of mind of ready-made meals in the freezer has been a godsend – especially for our son – who also loves the Bolognese mince and lasagne!”

Bellyful New Zealand

From exhausted new parents to overwhelmed whānau, Bellyful is helping lighten the load across Aotearoa. Our latest survey shows the power of a simple meal—91% of families said it gave them a break when they needed it most, and 97% felt supported without judgement. As one parent shared: “You actually kept us afloat in what felt like a sinking situation.”

This year Bellyful is on track to serve over 7,000 families more than 40,000 meals, including stocking neonatal unit freezers across the motu. Ngā mihi to our amazing volunteers and the generous people backing our mahi. Together, we’re filling freezers, warming hearts, and nourishing communities.
