International Volunteer Day 2025 at Kaibosh
Every contribution matters At Kaibosh, we know that a stronger, more connected community isn’t built by one big act – it’s created through thousands of small, meaningful contributions made every single day. This International Volunteer Day, we’re celebrating the power of collective action and shining a light on our incredible network of 250+ volunteers who show us exactly what “Every Contribution Matters” looks like in action. Our volunteers give much more than their time. They bring their energy, ideas, diverse experiences, passion for people and planet, and a shared belief that good food should never be wasted.

Annual Review 2025: More Fresh Kai, More Community Impact
The numbers are in for 2024/25 Together we’ve set a new Kaibosh record! From July 2024 to June 2025, our teams across Wellington, Hutt Valley and Kāpiti-Horowhenua distributed 900,521 kilograms of food to local communities. That’s the equivalent of more than 2 million meals worth of kai shared, while also preventing 2,386 tonnes CO2e of greenhouse gas emissions that would have been released if this food had gone to waste in landfill. What makes us proudest? More fresh whole foods rescued than ever before! 77% of all food distributed for people this year was fresh and nutritious, including: 🥬 57% fresh vegetables and fruit 🥛 13% eggs and dairy 🍖 7% meat This is a 10% increase in rescued fruit and vegetables compared with last year, meaning more people in our communities had access to the kind of fresh kai that supports their health and wellbeing.

Living Wage on Labour Day
Labour Day is a timely reminder of the rights of workers in Aotearoa to earn a decent wage doing meaningful work that enables them to enjoy a good quality of life. It’s about valuing the person’s overall wellbeing, not just ensuring their ability to work. When we invest in a person’s wellbeing by paying them an adequate income, we’re also equipping them with the tools to thrive at home and outside of work. Kaibosh proudly chooses to pay a Living Wage to our Food Rescue Truck Drivers At Kaibosh, we are deeply committed to our mission of reducing food waste and combatting food insecurity. But our commitment doesn’t stop with the communities we serve; it extends to those who work tirelessly to make our vision a reality. This is why we have made the conscious decision to pay our drivers the Living Wage, despite not being a certified Living Wage Provider.
