Organisational Structure
We run predominantly on a wide and vibrant community of volunteers, with a small paid leadership team. We are a registered charity under the umbrella of Renew Communities Trust. https://www.renewcommunities.co.nz/
Our Vision & Mission
The Free Store exists to reduce food in landfill by redistributing quality surplus food for free and create a community where all are welcome to receive, participate and grow in wellbeing. We are active in both food-rescue, and community development spaces.
Our Values
- Belonging
Everyone is a gift & deserves the opportunity to be known and a part of the community.
- Generosity
An attitude that is willing to give and receive, even when it is outside of our comfort zone.
- Transformation
An attitude that pursues health/positive change, and is discontent with dysfunction (systemically, individually, communally etc).
