We all need a little help sometimes

Can’t afford food

We know it is hard to ask for help, but there is no shame and no judgement.  So if you are struggling for whatever reason please do reach out.

You can contact us on 021 119 8497, (Mon – Fri 9am – Noon) or drop in and see us at 9 Tui Street Matamata (Mon, Wed & Fri 11am – Noon) alternatively you can email us at support@matamatafoodbank.co.nz

When applying for a food parcel you will need photo ID, and proof of address. If you are on a benefit you will need a food support decline letter from winz.

An application form will need to be completed, you can download one here or we can provide one to you when you pop in to see us.
