Local grants empower KiwiHarvest’s mission

NZ Lotteries

Every day in Aotearoa, tonnes of food go to waste while many families struggle to eat.

KiwiHarvest is tackling this by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to over 220 community groups across the country.

With $150,000 in Local Grants funding from Lotto NZ, KiwiHarvest delivered 159,914kgs of food—equivalent to 355,366 meals—while preventing 423,774kg of CO2 emissions.

Since 2016, they’ve rescued 14.5 million kgs of food, providing over 32 million meals.

“Just $5 feeds a family for a day,” says Anne-Marie Friis, Head of Fundraising. Every Lotto ticket helps support crucial initiatives like KiwiHarvest.
