A Tauranga-headquartered company is helping to ensure the community’s most vulnerable are supported this Christmas through a donation to the Tauranga Community Foodbank.

Craigs Investment Partners has given $3200 to kick off the annual Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal.

This year’s six-week campaign, supported by The Hits Bay of Plenty 95.0FM, started on Saturday.

The Craigs donation brought the company’s contribution to the foodbank over the past five years to $20,200, Craigs chief people officer Mel Dyer said.

This year’s donation is part of $200,000 that Craigs and its employees will split between 85 charities throughout New Zealand this Christmas.

Heading into its sixth year, donations from Craigs’ Workplace Giving programme have exceeded $1.2 million.

This includes more than $300,000 donated to Bay of Plenty charities since 2020.

Nearly 300 Craigs employees participated in the initiative, where staff donations were matched up to $500 per employee.

A total of $48,000 will be distributed among 13 Bay of Plenty organisations delivering services from food security and emergency housing to youth mentoring and whānau support this year.
