Top Spaghetti September Fundraising Ideas

Not sure where to start? These simple ideas turn everyday moments into meals for families under pressure.

Fill a Freezer Challenge

Set yourself a goal to raise enough to fill a Bellyful freezer with as many meals as possible, at $20 a meal. Share your goal and track your progress as donations come in.

Spaghetti Supper Club

Host a relaxed spaghetti dinner with friends, whānau or colleagues and invite everyone to donate koha. Bring people together over pasta, laughs and aroha - every plate helps fill a Bellyful freezer.

Bake for Bellyful

Share baking with friends, whānau, or colleagues and invite donations to support families through Spaghetti September. Go big - make it a workplace-wide effort.

Spaghetti Drive

Collect packets of pasta for your local Bellyful branch and invite people to donate alongside it.
A simple way to support meals in your community.

Comfort Food Club

Host a shared lunch or potluck dinner where everyone brings their favourite comfort food and donates koha. Easy and comforting!

Sponsor a Spag Bol

Ask people to donate the cost of a simple dinner during September. One small gift can help Bellyful provide practical care in the form of meals for families under pressure.

Skip One, Share One

Pick one regular treat - a coffee, takeaway, or lunch out - and choose to skip it once (or a few times) during September. Donate the money you would have spent .

Give Instead of Gifts

If you have a birthday, anniversary, or celebration in September, ask friends and whānau to donate to your Spaghetti September fundraiser instead of giving presents.
