The Lower Hutt Community Foodbank is located at 27B Dudley Street in the CBD.
The Foodbank was started in 1986 when Sir John Kennedy-Good, then the Mayor of Lower Hutt, saw a need to better serve the less privileged members of the community.
The Lower Hutt Foodbank provides emergency food parcels, free to families and individuals within the Hutt community, who are in true need. Clients come from all suburbs within the Lower Hutt valley - from Petone to Stokes Valley, and from the Western Suburbs to Wainuiomata and Eastbourne.
All clients receive a food parcel on their first visit as long as they provide proof of ID.
