“The support from Queenstown Airport really is a game-changer for food security in our region. The ripple effect of this airport contribution will have a long-lasting impact on the health and well-being of those who need it most in our community.”
Gary Hough, KiwiHarvest Queenstown Branch Manager
KiwiHarvest tackles two big problems with one clever solution: rescuing food before it goes to waste and redistributing it to those who need it most. The work of the KiwiHarvest team and its fantastic volunteers reduces the environmental impact of food waste and also drives positive social change across the Southern Lakes region.
For Queenstown Airport, this partnership is a perfect fit. KiwiHarvest’s reach spans our entire catchment, supporting charities in Queenstown, Wānaka and Cromwell, while also addressing our region’s collective goal to divert waste from landfill.
Queenstown Airport has committed to providing $25,000 a year for three years to help build the resilience of KiwiHarvest in the Southern Lakes region.
