With 143 locally-owned stores across New Zealand, we're your neighbours. It's been an honour to help Kiwis up the road and 'round the corner, to get through. New World is working with local charities as part of Foodstuffs brands who have collectively pledged support of more than $1 million to help those effected due to COVID-19. Our contribution enables our charity partners to support in-need New Zealanders and kickstart initiatives with the purpose of getting food to those most in need in our communities and neighbourhoods.
We had the privileged ability to trade during lockdown, and we are grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to support those most in need as NZ looks to recover from the impact of COVID-19. We will commit to doing all we can to support NZ and we are conscious of the role we need to play in the economic recovery of New Zealand.
Foodstuffs’ donation
We're here to support all New Zealanders to have access to healthy and affordable food. This need is even more critical right now as the economic impact of COVID-19 starts to affect so many Kiwis. To further support our communities, Foodstuffs’ brands will be donating more than $1 million to help New Zealanders who are facing tough times, through a number of our charitable and social partners. This will enable key community partners to support Kiwis in-need even further and enables them to kickstart innovative initiatives aimed at getting groceries to our most physically and financially vulnerable during this time.
