Community fridges and food pantries with public source information.
Local food-resource discovery
Community Fridges & Food Pantries in New Zealand
SharePatch can help neighbours discover public community food resources and food-rescue information in their locality. It is a moderated discovery layer, not an emergency-service replacement or a promise that food is currently available.
Start with your locality
Search the full New Zealand directory for your city, town, suburb, or region before you browse or contribute.

Useful local context, not a live inventory.
Food-rescue organisations and public access guidance.
Local community resources that explain how to check current support details.
Add something useful
Help the next neighbour verify it.
Share a food resource only with its public source link and a general locality. Never post private addresses, personal contact details, or a claim that supplies are available right now.
Choose a locality to add a pinA public-map boundary
Keep it public, local, and reviewable.
Use a public source link, not a private conversation.
Use a locality or general pickup area, never a private address or contact.
Submissions are reviewed before appearing on SharePatch.
Details can change, so pins never promise live availability.
If you need urgent food, housing, health, or safety support, contact the appropriate local service or emergency support directly. SharePatch is not an emergency service.
