KiwiHarvest are a food rescue charity. They see themselves as a simple solution to two problems - food waste and food insecurity. They do this by simply redistributing excess food away from landfill and to local charities running food support programs helping people in their time of need. In Wanaka these are Community Networks Food Bank, Food For Love and Kahu Youth Trust.
🚛They have recently relocated their little green truck dedicated to Wanaka and are looking for a team of two to complete collections of excess food from local supermarkets around the CBD and deliver this much needed food to local charities.

- One person needs to be happy to drive a small refrigerated delivery truck (truck is automatic and no special license required)
- Training run on the route will be completed with new driver volunteers.
- Need to independently coordinate with the other team of two covering the alternate same weekly shift to see if they can cover you if you are sick or away etc. for your scheduled collection before contacting management to cancel.
