Let's do dinner this Macaroni March

It's more than a meal. It's a break when it's needed most.





This March, we’re dishing up kindness with a side of macaroni. 

There are two simple ways you can help fill Bellyful freezers and nourish whānau in your community: fundraise or donate.

🍝 Fundraise your way

Rally your friends, whānau, workplace, or community and host a macaroni-themed fundraiser this March. From a cosy macaroni dinner to a workplace bake sale, every dollar you raise helps us cook and deliver free meals to families with babies and young children who are without a support network.

👉 Sign up today and start fundraising your way.

❤️ Donate now

Short on time but still want to help? You can make an immediate impact by donating funds for meals — or by donating pasta to support your local Bellyful branch.

👉 Donate today and help fill a Bellyful freezer.

💗 $20 provides one nourishing meal
💗 $60 covers three nights of dinner
💗 $100 helps keep a Bellyful freezer full

However you choose to get involved, your support helps feed whānau and strengthen communities.

Downloadable Resources

Choose from downloadable invites and posters, social tiles and editable Canva poster templates to spread the word and raise funds for Bellyful.

More than a meal - why your support matters

“I am so, so grateful for the meals we received when I was feeling extremely exhausted and overwhelmed postpartum. Thank you so, so much!” 

“I loved the kai but mostly I loved that there was no judgment… the lady dropped it off and didn’t even ask questions, she was so beautiful I wanted to cry.” 

“Bellyful turned up to support me when I was at my lowest and needed it the most. Those meals were healthier than the noodles my children were living off and they loved the food!

Some inspiration. From dinners to donation drives, here's some macaroni-fuelled inspiration to get you started

Meal Pledge

Great for families: Ask for donations for each comfort meal you make during March - get the kids involved in cooking!

Bake for Bellyful

Perfect for workplaces: Host a shared lunch or bake sale and fill the table with delicious lunchbox-friendly treats.

Meal or Pasta Drive

Ideal if you’re short on time: Fund a meal (or three!) or donate some packets of macaroni to your local branch.

How to get involved: We’ve got you covered with social media tiles, invites, donation links, and plenty of inspo to make your event a delicious success!
