Pasta Drop-Off Locations
Donate Pasta this Macaroni March
Dropping off pasta is an easy way to support local Bellyful whānau.
Macaroni is one of the ingredients we use most in the meals we cook and deliver to whānau with babies or young children who need support.
Find a collection point below and check back as more locations are added throughout March.
If you’d like to host a pasta drive or fundraiser of your own, you can create an event and be part of Macaroni March in your community.

FAQs
Got a question about donating pasta or running a drive?
You’ll find the key details below to make it easy.
What kind of pasta do you need?
Macaroni is used in our macaroni cheese, so that’s our top request this Macaroni March.
We also gratefully accept other dried pasta such as spaghetti and penne to go with our bolognese.
Please ensure all items are unopened and well within their best-before date.
When can I drop off pasta?
Collection points are open throughout March unless otherwise stated. Please check individual locations for details.
Can I run a pasta drive or fundraiser at my workplace or school?
Yes - we’d love that. You can create your own event through this page or contact us for support - contact@bellyful.org.nz
Are there other ingredients you use?
Yes. Alongside pasta, our branches regularly use pantry staples such as split lentils and canned chickpeas.
However, for Macaroni March, macaroni is our priority.
I don’t live near a drop-off point. Can I still help?
Absolutely. You can donate online through the Macaroni March page and help us purchase pasta where it’s needed most.
Other ways to help this Macaroni March
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
