About Us

On The House is a non-religious community group that started in November 2017 to create a space for the community to interact, build relationships, and serve free surplus food to those in need. We were inspired by The Free Store in Wellington and are part of a Free Store Movement growing in New Zealand.

We are volunteer-based. These dedicated individuals collect food that would otherwise go to waste and help to redistribute these items to anybody willing to patiently line up. We are all about less waste and more taste!
