Looking to purchase food and essential items for your food support organisation?
For organisations aiming to combat food insecurity while maintaining budget to spend on food and other essentials, NZFN offers a bulk procurement service. This service gives your food support organisation access to quality food at prices significantly below retail, helping your organisation stretch its precious funding further. Over the last six months, NZFN has supplied around 30 hubs with a wide range of products at prices averaging 30-60% below retail.

BENEFITS
- Greater Variety and Negotiating Power: NZFN has the ability to purchase products nationwide and import from overseas, especially when the volume requirement is close to a container-load size. This allows NZFN to access a wider variety of products directly from brand owners. By combining budgets from multiple organisations, NZFN has greater negotiating power than a single organisation negotiating with a local supermarket.
- Time and Resource Savings: Using NZFN’s purchasing service helps you redirect valuable resources to focus on your wrap-around services. There is no need to send your team out shopping around multiple stores to find good deals or order from different suppliers; NZFN’s team does the searching for you.
