Fun buns back Kiwi kids
A limited edition blue and red bun will be satisfying mid-morning cravings and backing Kiwi kids in need this month.
Fun buns bought from Bakers Delight in May will support vulnerable children through the annual KidsCan campaign.
People can support the one in five New Zealand children experiencing hardship by buying fun buns or adding a $1 donation to their purchase.
KidsCan is working with 829 low decile schools and 110 early childhood centres to provide more than 200,000 children with the essentials.
Bakers Delight franchisees and customers have raised more than $110,000 for KidsCan during the past three years, providing children with nutritious food, jackets, shoes and health items.
This year they aim to raise $40,000 for the charity which has seen a spike in the number of children in need.
"... With more than 4000 children waiting for help we need support now more than ever,” said KidsCan chief executive officer Julie Chapman.
Many families are still feeling the effects of the financial fallout from Covid-19.
"After a year of so much uncertainty, there has never been a better time to bring communities across New Zealand together to raise funds for such an important cause," said Bakers Delight joint chief executive officer Elise Gillespie.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
