Baskets Of Blessing Meals emphasizes support for all kinds of groups in Queenstown.
Queenstown is a beautiful place to live, but it has its unique challenges in terms of cost of living versus the average wages that people earn. Increasingly, local individuals and families are facing incredible challenges, typically without family or support networks. Those impacted by severe illness or injury, financial or mental distress, bereavement, separations and solo parenting greatly benefit by the simple act of receiving a sign that someone cares.

We have a wide variety of volunteers coming from a diverse community covering many cultures, age-groups and socio-economic backgrounds. We strive to bring people together and diminish loneliness and social isolation. It is important that people are being fed, but we also bring people together in a strong knit resilient community.

Everyone is welcome at Baskets Of Blessing Meals!
