Check out PAK’nSAVE’s Community Kitchen 

PAK GIVES BACK is all about how our stores support and give back to their local communities. Our team at PAK’nSAVE Mt Albert recently teamed up with Ganesh Raj, alongside the amazing folk at Kai Avondale & Fair Food to create a feast for 150 people – all on a shoestring budget! With a crew of community volunteers and a can-do attitude, Ganesh and the team turn rescued food into delicious dinners for those in need.

At PAK’nSAVE, our stores are committed to supporting their communities. We are proud to partner with local organisations to make a real difference where it matters most.

At PAK’nSAVE we believe in fair, because what’s fair for our customers is what’s good for New Zealand, and being here for New Zealand is in our DNA.

Being 100% New Zealand owned and operated, we’re locals like you. With local owners in every one of our stores, we’re focused on supporting the communities where we live in the way that is right for them. We believe that no New Zealander should go hungry, so we’re on a committed journey to support those in our communities to access healthy and affordable food, focused on reducing food poverty, and encouraging our customers to make healthier food choices.

PAK Gives Back encompasses how we recognise meaningful work within our communities, and give back to New Zealanders. PAK'nSAVE is committed to being Here for NZ, and PAK Gives Back helps ensure our communities are supported to thrive. Being here for NZ means we can make an impact and focus on what matters most.
