Food Partnership Programme

This is a partnership programme between KAIBOSH FOOD RESCUE and the market stallholders. Kaibosh is New Zealands first food rescue charity and fills the gap between retailers with surplus food and the charities who need it most by rescuing food that is good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell. In 2011 they rescued over 20 tonnes of food and redistributed it to 12 charities in the Wellington region. The Harbourside Food Partnership Programme Stallholders will provide KAIBOSH with unsold, fresh produce from the market on a weekly basis to be sorted and distributed to charities for collection. This programme is a great example of how the marketplace is working to support the local Wellington community.

Other Community Initiatives

The Market Office is interested in involving the community in as many ways as we can with the market so if you have any ideas on how we can bring the market closer to the community, please let us know.
