IMPACTS
Since 2016, WELLfed has been transforming lives in Porirua through the simple, powerful act of sharing food and knowledge.
We use hands-on cooking classes, community gardening, and wraparound support to grow confidence, connection, and wellbeing. Every year, our reach deepens, our numbers grow - and so do the stories of positive change.
Every number tells a story
Behind every meal, every class, and every hour volunteered is a person gaining skills, building confidence, and creating connections. These numbers and stories represent real lives changed - we’re proud to show you what your support makes possible.

Growing year by year
You'll see our impact increasing annually across all areas—more meals, more classes, more mouths fed. That’s thanks to the collective effort of learners, volunteers, supporters, and donors like you.
Ripple effect of change
Whether it's someone cooking a healthy meal for their whānau for the first time, or a learner stepping into a new job with confidence, the ripple effect of WELLfed spreads far beyond our kitchen.
These stats are just one way of showing how far we’ve come—and how far we can go together.
Your support makes it possible.
