Situation

In response to ongoing budget constraints, we've updated our food services to maintain fair and sustainable distribution. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

  1. Food Services Availability: Fresh produce and booster boxes are available once a fortnight per household. Each week, requests are capped at 40 households, with the form open from Tuesday at ~10 am until our capacity is reached.
  2. Eligibility and Priority: Requests are prioritised for households who haven’t accessed food security support from other food banks or community providers.

Considering our food boxes offer short-term assistance, we recommend exploring available support from Work and Income. You can call 0800 559 009 or visit Food Assistance for eligibility details. Alternatively, you may find the MSD urgent need guide helpful.

In urgent situations, contact us – we're here to help.

We appreciate your patience and continued cooperation. Together, we can sustain this essential service for those in need.

Find us at Northgate Baptist Church, sharing the west side of Silverdale Rugby Club. Look for us just across from the Z petrol station that is near Silverdale Bus Station.
