Be the knock at the door this month

Not every whānau has family or friends nearby to step in when a new baby arrives or life becomes overwhelming. Your support helps Bellyful volunteers show up with free meals, kindness and the reminder that someone cares.

Sometimes, dinner is simply one thing too many.

Bellyful volunteers deliver free frozen meals to whānau who need some extra support. But the meals are only part of it. A Bellyful delivery is also a reminder that someone in their community sees them and cares.

“Years later, I can’t tell you what was in those meal containers. But I can tell you exactly how (Bellyful) made me feel that day.”- Riika, Bellyful meal recipient and now Bellyful Whitianga Branch Coordinator

Help us bring home the Bolognese!

Donate today to keep Bellyful freezers full and meals heading out to whānau with babies or young children when dinner is one thing too many.

Pasta la vista, baby!

Rally your workplace, school, business or community group for a pasta drive - or pop a packet into a participating drop-off point. Every packet helps our volunteers cook a Bellyful family favourite: Spaghetti Bolognese.

Use your noodle!

Host a dinner. Take on a challenge. Rally your workmates. Create a Spaghetti September fundraising page and have some fun with it - your fundraiser, your flavour!

However you get involved, you’ll help serve up meals, kindness and a reminder that no whānau is alone.

More than a meal - the difference your donation makes

"People can be afraid to ask for help as they can feel judged, but the fact a family or friend has simply put your name down, and then it’s delivered by a friendly face, makes you feel worthy of receiving it."

"Thank you so much for your efforts and good, old-fashioned community kindness. It came at a time I needed it more than I realised, so thank you!"

"I have no support where I am but ended up with quite bad postnatal depression and a very clingy new baby. I wasn't able to cook as baby just cried and cried, making me feel like I was failing at being a mother and a wife. Receiving meals helped me refocus and 'breathe', giving my whānau nutritional meals when I was pretty empty."
