Turning Surplus into Support

Baskets Of Blessing receives quality surplus food from supermarkets that would otherwise be discarded. Our volunteer teams sort and prepare this food for our chefs and quality home-cooks turn it into delicious, nutritious frozen meals. In turn, these meals are packaged, and distributed to those in the community struggling from unexpected life predicaments.

Baskets Of Blessing Food is on a mission in Queenstown to reduce food waste, feed people in need and bring people together by sharing food.
