The Free Store relies on the generosity like-minded organisations, and of our local food donors, who we collect excess food from to redistribute every weekday
St Peters on Willis
- In October 2014, St Peter’s gifted space to The Free Store to be the location of our store. Over the last 12 years, a beautiful, deepening partnership has been built between The Free Store and St. Peter’s. In the spirit of manaakitanga, St Peter’s warmly provides space for The Free Store to operate and gather, including the use of their kitchen facilities, undercroft, and the support of their staff.
Kaibosh Food Rescue
- Founded in 2008, Kaibosh is the leading food rescue organisation in the Wellington region. It has been a long term supplier of food to the Free Store and has been a key supporter and advisor of The Free Store during our transition into a fully volunteer run organisation.
