Fresh food rescue groups operating completely during COVID-19 lockdowns as an essential service

Food rescue is an essential service under all alert levels during lockdowns. There are food rescue groups in many locations around the country who are available to collect food from businesses who are unable to trade during the lockdown. If you are a grower with excess produce, an egg farmer with excess eggs or any kind of business who has perishable goods which you are unable to sell, there are organisations who can assist. The food rescue groups are collaborating across the county so in some regions they are able to take pallets of produce. If your region is not listed below, please email info@lovefoodhatewaste.co.nz and we will match you with a group that can assist.
