If you are an existing customer of My Food Bag (including MADE), Bargain Box or Fresh Start you can add a donation as an ‘extra’ in your account area. Just select the amount you would like to donate with each My Food Bag, Bargain Box or Fresh Start delivery – the options are $1, $2 or $4.
If you are a new customer, set up your account and after you have selected your meal kit you can add a Garden to Table donation ‘extra’. NOTE – unless you remove your Garden To Table donation as an ‘extra’, you will donate the selected amount each time you receive a delivery.
It can be a one-off but ideally it’s a donation each time you get a delivery from My Food Bag which is why we have kept the donation amounts minimal. The donation will be made as long as you have it selected as an ‘extra’ on your account. If you add the extra once, then remove, it will be a one-off donation.
It’s as simple as removing the Garden to Table donation in ‘extras’, in your account area. This opts you out of all future donations. This needs to be done by midnight on Sunday when orders lock.
You will be charged the donation amount you have selected each time you receive a My Food Bag (including MADE), Bargain Box or Fresh Start meal kit subscription delivery. For example, if you are a fortnightly customer, you will only donate once every 2 weeks when you receive a delivery. If you regularly skip deliveries you can add donating to Garden to Table as an ‘extra’, and you will only make a donation on the weeks you choose to get a delivery.
The donation is processed when your meal kit payment is processed.
No, it does not apply to one-off meal kit deliveries such as Valentine’s Day or Waitangi Day burger boxes. Only meal kit subscriptions for My Food Bag (including MADE), Bargain Box and Fresh Start are eligible.

Yes, the donation applies to any of the subscription products you may be purchasing from My Food Bag Limited. This includes the My Food Bag (including MADE), Bargain Box and Fresh Start brands. As you move between brands and products, the donation will move with your deliveries unless you remove it as an extra on your subscription.
No, it’s all in our account area so until you remove the donation as an ‘extra’ the donation will move with you as you change products and brands (between My Food Bag, MADE, Bargain Box and Fresh Start).
Easy, go into your account area and where it shows your ‘extras’, remove your current extra and add another for the new amount you would like to donate.

For every $10 you donate, a kiwi kid will receive at least 30 hours of gardening and cooking skills based education per annum. We’re looking to get an additional 2000 kiwi kids onto the Garden to Table programme. Your donation will be used in the best way possible to enable these goals – providing seeds to the school, cooking or gardening equipment, curriculum resources etc.
