Fundraise for Everybody Eats

Want to make a real difference in your community? Fundraising for Everybody Eats is a meaningful way to turn your time, talents or special occasion into something that helps feed people in need and reduces food waste at the same time.

Whether you are running a marathon, hosting a dinner party or rallying your workplace, your efforts help us bring communities together around the dinner table whilst helping to prevent good food from going to waste.

Why fundraise for us?
Everybody Eats is a charitable social enterprise with pay-as-you-can restaurants in Auckland and Wellington. Every dollar you raise helps us rescue more food, keep our kitchens open and create dignified dining experiences for anyone who needs a good meal.

Fundraising Ideas

  • Do a sponsored challenge: Sign up for a sporting event or daring challenge, then set up a give-a-little page and invite people to support.
  • Ask your workplace about match-giving: Many places of work offer match giving schemes which makes your donation go further
  • Host a pay-what-you-can Dinner Party: Cook for friends at home and invite them to donate what they'd usually spend dining out.
  • Celebrate a special occasion: For your next birthday, wedding or celebration, ask people to donate to Everybody Eats instead of giving a gift.
  • Bake sale: Host a bake sale at your place of work or with your community with funds going to Everybody Eats.
  • Run a fitness, wellness or skills-sharing session: Find someone who can donate their time and skills and ask people to donate instead of paying a fee.
  • Host a movie or quiz night:  Charge an entry fee and approach local businesses for prizes.
  • Garage Sale: Have a clear out at home and donate the proceeds of items sold.
