Whai Manaaki Kai
Food Support

WHĀNAU SERVICES

Community Housing

Visionwest’s kai support service providing a range of options for families and individuals in West Auckland who find themselves in need of food support.

We understand that many whānau find themselves financially stretched at times. During those times, help with food support can make a big difference.

Whai Manaaki Kai is Visionwest’s way of caring for whānau in our communities who need support with food, nourishment and other issues relating to food supply.

For our West Auckland whānau we have a Weekly Fruit and Veggie Bag available. Find out how to order yours here…

Whata Manaaki Warehouse

Whata Manaaki is Visionwest’s food support Warehouse where the kai for Manaaki Kai and Pātaka Kai is prepared – it is the engine room behind our food support service.

Food Donations

You can contribute to Visionwest’s food support service by bringing items directly to Whai Manaaki Kai.

Please drop off to 97 Glendale Road, Glen Eden, between 9am and 11am Monday to Friday.

Monetary Donations

Whai Manaaki Kai exists because of the generosity of individuals, businesses and groups throughout Aotearoa. Because food demand often exceeds the supply of donated food, we welcome monetary gifts. Every dollar given to Whai Manaaki Kai goes directly to the purchase of food.
