We provide a hand up to those in need, in the form of food and hygiene parcels

About Us

The Matamata Community Foodbank is a not for profit registered Charity that is run by a group of volunteers. We have been supporting those in genuine need in our community with temporary food and hygiene parcels for more than 20 years. Our approach is one of kindness, support and compassion, providing a hand-up to those in need, so they can get back on their feet.

We rely on donations of food and money from the local community in order to provide support to those in need. Our day to day operations are undertaken by our coordinator who is assisted by a team of volunteers.

It’s a real community effort

We wish to acknowledge the incredibly generous support we receive from our Matamata community and beyond.

From our Supermarkets, Businesses, Churches, Community and Service organisations, Farmers, Meat the Need, and the many individuals, who donate, food, money and time. Thank you for your ongoing support, which enables us to support those that are in genuine need in our community.
