We know that putting food on the table can be a challenge for many whฤnau and individuals, particularly during times of financial stress. Thatโs why we provide food assistance as part of our Financial Mentoring service, helping to support those in need while working towards long-term solutions.
Food Parcels
We offer food parcels to ensure whฤnau and individuals have access to essential kai. These parcels are tailored to provide immediate relief, offering a helping hand when times are tough. To access this service, youโll need to make an appointment with one of our Financial Mentors.
Our Financial Mentors are here to do more than provide short-term supportโtheyโll work alongside you to understand your situation, develop a personalised plan, and help you navigate the journey to financial stability.
Referrals to the Social Supermarket
We can also connect you with the Social Supermarket, run by Nourished For Nil. This service gives people the dignity of choice by allowing them to shop for heavily discounted food items in a supermarket-style environment. Itโs a practical, empowering way to access food assistance while respecting individual preferences and needs.
