Sincerest thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Our charity collaborates with food manufacturing companies and logistics companies to get stock delivered to our warehouse when it can't all fit into our chiller truck.

Thanks to Whittaker's for their generous donation of rice bubbles and to Foodstuffs North Island Transport Division for their generous donation.

Foodstuffs NI Transport Division collected it for us and brought it to our warehouse.

This stock is already preallocated and is going out to local schools, foodbanks and to feed the homeless.

Great team work to everyone involved.

The words of the day is COLLABORATION ALL THE WAY!

"Kia ora – James Lough from New World Porirua here. Keen to discover a new top drop in time for summer?

My favourite wine from this year’s New World Wine Awards is the Tohu Single Vineyard Riesling and for many reasons! First, it’s delicious with a zingy acidity. Secondly, it has a great story - all wine should start a conversation and the people behind this wine and their governance of the land give you plenty of that. Lastly, the wine sums up what the New World Wine Awards is all about: helping customers discover new wines that surprise and delight.” And Bob Dunkerly from New World Thorndon’s pick is the Stoneleigh Latitude Marlborough Chardonnay. “It’s an excellent wine, with delicious stone fruit flavours. It’s very approachable for anyone wanting to give Chardonnay a try.”

Come into your local New World and explore the Top 50 Gold-medal winning wines – we have winners for every budget. Plus join us for complimentary wine sampling and try before you buy.
