Nourished for Nil

General information

NOURISHED FOR NIL

We are a non-profit FOOD RESCUE project located in Hastings, who rescue surplus food and redistribute it to the people within the Hawke’s Bay community, on the same day.
Our team is comprised of committed volunteers whose shared passion is reducing waste and helping others
Nourished for Nil will not discriminate, judge or label any community members who find themselves needing our service
The Nourished for Nil project aims to provide food to all people and families including those who do not qualify for assistance from other organisations

MISSION STATEMENT
To rescue surplus food that is good enough to eat but no longer good enough to sell and redistribute it within our communities

VALUES
No judgement or conditions
Kindness & gratitude

VISION
To redistribute food that otherwise would go to waste ZERO FOOD WASTE

GOALS
To operate an effective and relevant social service that serves those in need
To sustainably and consistently redistribute surplus foods
To establish a place where volunteers can participate in giving back to the community & build relationships
To create an environment that promotes inclusion and sharing where everyone is welcome
To develop an organisation that fosters advocacy and equality

The idea of a Nourished for Nil was born after hearing of similar successful initiatives in Wellington and Palmerston North. Our team is committed to make this project just as successful in Hawke’s Bay according to our Mission Statement, Vision, Values & Goals.
