Volunteers
Our community needs kindness more than ever and we are on a mission to help make Aotearoa New Zealand the kindest place on earth!
Hamilton Good Bitches Baking needs your help to grow our chapter and spread our message of kindness as far as possible. We deliver over 21 boxes of baking a week to 17 recipients in the Waikato.
We are registered charity which delivers home baking to New Zealanders going through trauma or difficulty. We spread GBB Love via baking and are volunteer-driven.
GBB is the 2020 winner of The New Zealand Community Charity of the Year which has 25 chapters throughout New Zealand with over 2600 volunteers.
Nationally our GBB team have delivered 1,000,000 moments of kindness since Good Bitches Baking began in 2004!
What an incredible show of manaakitanga Aotearoa!
So if you want to be part of our kindness movement please get in touch.
