Kapiti Community Foodbank
Food Donations
You can assist by donating food which can either be delivered direct to the Foodbank, or by placing it in the bins at your local supermarket.
Monetary Donations
The Kapiti Community Foodbank Incorporated helps people from all walks of life, and for the price of a coffee you could be helping someone in your community when they need it most.
Supporting Businesses
As well as the locals who donate food & money on a daily basis, we are lucky enough to be supported by a number of local businesses.
Our Mission
Supporting The Community We Live In!
The KAPITI COMMUNITY FOODBANK INCORPORATED is a registered charity that could not exist without the assistance of volunteers.
We service the Kapiti Coast.
Peka Peka – Paekakariki (Otaki have their own Foodbank).

The Foodbank was set up in 1999 to provide free food parcels to the community, and relies on generous food and monetary donations for its continued operation. Food parcels are customised to suit the individuals or family’s needs, and will feed them for three days.
We supply baby food, baby formula, nappies as well as catering for some dietary requirements including vegetarian food & gluten free items.
