Kaibosh is New Zealand’s first and only dedicated food rescue organisation.
Our kaupapa draws on commonsense. Plenty of food that’s good enough to eat, but not good enough to sell, is disposed of every day. We rescue this food from retailers and redistribute it to charities working with people in need. This is good for our community, the environment and the businesses who work with sustainability and social justice values in mind.
How much food have we rescued?
