It has been a pleasure to work with Te Awa Community Foundation to distribute our Workplace Giving funds on behalf of our Palmerston North and Whanganui teams.
Thanks to their support, our Palmerston North and Whanganui Workplace Giving donations have been distributed to 7 wonderful charities: Southern Ruahine Kiwi, Camellia House, Manchester House Social Services, StarLight, Helicopter Rescue NZ, Breakfast in Schools Whanganui and Life Education Trust.
Camellia House is a safe haven for women and their children in Palmerston North, offering accommodation and support to help families move towards independence. Many arrive with few belongings, making donated care packs a simple but meaningful source of comfort during a challenging time.
In our latest Workplace Giving distribution, Craigs and its employees donated $200,000 to charities across New Zealand.
Through Craigs’ Workplace Giving, our people can elect to donate a portion of their monthly pay, and Craigs matches contributions up to $500 per employee annually. Since Workplace Giving began in 2020, total donations have exceeded $1 million.
