At the Kindness Collective, we’re proud to partner with Foodstuffs North Island, a 100% Kiwi-owned co-operative that’s been part of New Zealand communities for over 100 years. Together, we’re working to build a future where every family has access to the food and essentials they need to thrive.
Foodstuffs contributes to the Everyday Essentials and Manaaki Ora programmes, delivering vital support to thousands of families across Aotearoa. Their support helps provide 48,000 meals to 4,000 whānau every year - bringing not just food, but dignity, hope, and meaningful support into homes and communities.
At Christmas, Foodstuffs helps create something truly special through their support of the Food Market at the Christmas Joy Store. Thanks to their generosity, whānau facing hardship can celebrate the festive season with kai on the table, presents under the tree, spending meaningful time together, just like everyone else.
As a co-operative built for and by Kiwis, Foodstuffs North Island shares our commitment to strengthening communities, supporting wellbeing, and ensuring all families have access to fresh, nutritious food. We’re honoured to work alongside them to spread kindness and help build a stronger Aotearoa.
