Be a SouperHero this winter and support KiwiHarvest
Winter brings a sharp rise in food insecurity across the region, with our recipient charities reporting a more than 50% increase in demand for food support programmes last year. As the core food rescue provider for over 15 local charities, KiwiHarvest Queenstown is launching a special winter initiative – ‘SouperHeroes’ – so that anyone in our community can step up and help locals get through the colder months.
There are two easy ways you can become a SouperHero (or StewperHero!) and make a difference:
1. Donate clean, empty tubs:
Drop off your clean, empty ice cream and yogurt tubs with lids at:
- The KiwiHarvest trolley at Pak’nSave Queenstown
- The reception of any Queenstown primary school
2. These tubs will be collected and given to amazing local chefs from restaurants and hotels, who are creating nutritious soups and stews using surplus ingredients from their kitchens. The meals will be frozen and distributed by KiwiHarvest to families in need throughout winter.
3. Donate canned soups and stews:
You can also donate canned soups and stews at the same drop-off points. These shelf-stable items are vital in helping us extend support to our partner charities over the winter season.
Follow the Campaign:
Meet our weekly SouperHeroes and keep up with campaign updates by following KiwiHarvest Queenstown and Central Lakes on social media.
