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.
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!
