Bellyful, New Zealand initiative providing free meals for families with newborn babies and young children who are struggling with illness

Would not it be great when you are seriously ill or after you just had a newborn baby to receive free meals for your family?

Oh yes, it will be. Being ill can take the toll on sorting out day to day chores for the household. Having a new baby is a big transition involving a lot of hard work.

In those moments, all you need is the support from your direct community.

I came across Bellyful, an initiative in New Zealand that provides practical support for tired and stressed families faced with a major life event (a newborn or serious illness). They currently support 18 communities across New Zealand and have more than 450 volunteers.

I heard that there are similar initiatives in the UK. Some church takes the initiative to support parents when in need. If you have come across similar initiative, please share the words and if you want to start your own, please do. Families need each other.
