As a company and as a team, we like to help others out whenever we can. This is sometimes in our own backyard, as with Harold’s Life Education Trust mobile classroom and the fantastic Books in Homes project. And at other times it’s further afield, like our long-term support of World Vision. Every year there are heaps of ways we reach into the community to offer support and we love doing it!
We were incredibly proud to win the recent ‘Business Contribution to the Community’ Award. This award recognised our major sponsorship of Life Education Trust and our initiatives around World Vision, Books in Homes and other community-related support.
As a major sponsor of Life Education Trust, we’re helping Kiwi kids throughout New Zealand enjoy some very important health-based education programmes. Over 7000 children visit each of Harold the Giraffe’s mobile classrooms every year!
Frucor has been a proud sponsor of Books in Homes since February 2003, supporting Dawson Primary School in Otara, South Auckland. This initiative was developed to help break the cycle of ‘booklessness’ and the 460 pupils are each given at least five books a year, which they get to select and keep.
Just Juice has been the official sponsor for the 40-Hour Famine for 17 fun-filled years. For every specially marked pack of Just Juice purchased, we give 5 cents towards growing Moringa trees in Malawi. These ‘miracle trees’ provide food for families as well as animal feed, medicine and water purification.
Whether it’s getting in behind Mo’vember, cycling to raise money for breast cancer, or our re-sort department supporting local charities, schools and sports clubs with extra stock, we’re happy to help out when it’s all for a good cause.
