KiwiHarvest Food Rescue, founded in 2012 by Deborah Manning, is fighting food waste and hunger in New Zealand. We've rescued and distributed over 13 million kilograms of food to over 220 charities, making a real difference in the lives of families struggling to put food on the table. Over 21% of Kiwi children live in food-insecure households – and we're working to change that. By providing high-quality, fresh food, we empower charities to focus on their core missions and help families thrive. 🍎
