⚡️ $166,332.99 raised for kindness! ⚡️We're thrilled to share the Tegel Foods Ltd Charity Golf Day raised $166, 332.99 to support families in need. Over 120 Tegel staff, customers and suppliers came together yesterday to enjoy a brilliant day of golf at Windross Farm, raising $66,332.99 which then Tegel matched with a further $100,000 to help us continue to feed families in need. Thank you to everyone who worked hard behind the scenes and who sponsored holes, played and donated on the day. We're incredibly grateful for the support and especially to Tegel who believes so strongly that every Kiwi should have access to good quality food, every day. Amazing result and such a great day, thank you! ⛳️🏌🏻♀️❤️🍗

The wonderful community from Rotary Club Botany Downs visited our hub yesterday with the most amazing delivery of pantry staples for our food bank, which couldn't have come at a better time. We're grateful to have a few Rotary Clubs in our community, and for the efforts of Nitika, Amar and their rotarians for contributing such a generous amount of food, so referred families can be supported over the next week. Ngā mihi nui, it takes all of us. ❤️🥫🍎

When we heard from the amazing social workers at Te Pā (formerly PARS Incorporated) about a single dad building a new life for himself and his three-month-old baby girl, we knew we had to help. Thanks to your support, we were able to provide them with food, toiletries, a car seat, a pram, a cot and a mattress, to help them start fresh in a new home. 👨🍼💜✨ In September, we supported 590 people just like this dad with custom referrals through our Everyday Essentials programme. Because all whānau deserve to be supported in times of hardship. #ittakesallofus

A Build Project with a difference! We teamed up with Mitre 10 (New Zealand) Limited to build a basketball court at He Pā Piringa, a kaupapa Māori transitional housing service for homeless youth. 🏀⚒️⛹️♀️🙌 The court is an incredible resource to bring the Mā te Huruhuru rangatahi together, helping them connect and support each other on their healing journey at the Pā. It’ll boost their hauora, encouraging them to get active, being part of a team and having fun along the way. A massive mihi to Mitre 10 for their ongoing support of our work with communities across Aotearoa.

It can be hard to think about special occasions like Christmas when you’re just trying to get by. For families facing hardship, the weight of the festive season can feel overwhelming all year long. This year, you can really make a difference by helping others celebrate. Your donation can provide presents and food for a family in need, so this can be a Christmas to remember, for all the right reasons. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g-RsvvFR 🎄🎁❤️
