Dish up some kindness this Spaghetti September
"We have been in the hardest position ever with having a baby and losing a baby all in one. Your service enabled my family to grieve, to adjust to a new baby and to have time with the older sibling. You helped reduce my stress over this time and I will forever be grateful."
This Spaghetti September, help a family going through a tough patch by giving them a break when they need it most.
There are three simple ways you can help fill Bellyful freezers and nourish whānau in your community: fundraise, donate or get involved in a spaghetti drive.
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.
Donate now
Short on time but still want to help? You can make an immediate impact by donating funds to help fill the bellies of whānau doing it tough right now. Donate today.
Spaghetti donation drive
Have a bit of fun with your school, workplace or community group and hold a spaghetti donation drive for our family fav spaghetti bolognese dish. Resource Kit.
However you choose to get involved, your support helps feed whānau and strengthen communities.
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. You don’t have to question yourself as to whether you deserve it or not because you didn’t ask for it, help reached out for it for you."
"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!"
We’ve got you covered with social media tiles, invites, donation links, and plenty of inspo to make your event a delicious success!
