Impact Knows No Age Boundaries



 










"Mā te rourou, mā taku rourou, ka ora ai te iwi" — With your food basket and my food basket, the people will thrive.



At ADCR, our incredible team of volunteers proves that making a difference knows no age limits. From our youngest helpers to our long-standing community champions, everyone steps up to coordinate, pack, and load essential whānau kai packs and support local school breakfast clubs. Together, we work tirelessly across Thames-Coromandel, Hauraki, and the wider Waikato region to ensure that fresh, nourishing food gets directly to the schools and families who need it the most.
