Lend a hand, give a can and feed a kiwi fam!
Approximately 60,000 cans and grocery items were donated to local foodbanks to help Kiwis this year, as PAK’nSAVE stores ran their PAK’canSAVE initiative again, to be #HereforNZ, supporting local communities. With more families than ever struggling to put food on the table, the PAK’canSAVE initiative, has never been more important.
PAK’canSAVE ran for two weeks from 4th July until the 17th July, with each PAK’nSAVE store across the country partnering with their local City Mission, foodbank, or food rescue organisation. This was the 3rd event in which PAK’canSAVE ran for. Customers dropped donations of canned goods or grocery items to their local store which were then handed directly to the foodbanks and on top of that, PAK’nSAVE donated collectively $150,000 to these organisations.
These donations will help replenish food banks nationwide and provide food for those in need during what can be a difficult time for many financially.

Thanks again New Zealand.
