A massive 25 tonnes of kai packed and prepped for Kiwis in need thanks to our volunteers in August! 💪 Last month we were gifted the time and mahi of an awesome volunteer army made up of staff from Sanitarium, Fonterra, Mars, Mars United Commerce, Enviro NZ, Mastercard, Kellanova. On average, each person packed more than 24 boxes of rescued food to be sent to our Food Hubs, a real impact for the community that we hope everyone is proud of! 👏 Thank you to all for your hard work and dedication! We couldn't operate the way we do without our volunteers, and the impact of those past and present continues to be felt by communities throughout NZ! 💚 #volunteering #foodrescue #foodwaste #foodsecurity #csr #communityimpact

We were delighted to host some of Japan’s future rugby stars who recently visited New Zealand as part of the Game on English programme 🏉 Over two weeks, the ten Japanese high school students learnt English, played rugby with local teams, and battled it out in a whipping cream challenge to make the best cream rosette at our Waitoa UHT manufacturing plant. “Game on English was developed to promote international exchange and co-operation through sport. Over the last ten years, many of the programme’s alumni have gone on to great success in their rugby career and some are now playing in Japan Rugby League One, Japan’s premier rugby competition.” - Bryn Rowdon, General Manager of Corporate Planning at Fonterra Japan.
