Food delivery
Student Volunteer Army Grocery Delivery Service
Do you need additional help with grocery delivery? The SVA Grocery Delivery Service in partnership with New World can help you get grocery supplies.
You can order online or via 0800 005 902 using a debit or credit card. A screened and vetted volunteer collects the items from the supermarket and will deliver them to your door. SVA then charges the pre-authorised credit card with the exact amount spent at the supermarket following delivery. There is a $6 delivery fee.
Head to www.shop.sva.org.nz to shop, call them on 0800 005 902 or email shop@sva.org.nz.
