Our Community Funds for May June & July!
At FreshChoice we are proud to support the local, New Zealand communities that our stores serve, that's why every FreshChoice store makes regular charitable grants as part of the FreshChoice Community Fund.
Congratulations to the following community groups and organisations who have recieved one over the past few months:
- Leeston Primary Junior school - this monthly contribution to their "cafe/restaurant" is a major part of their morning in providing them with essential carbohydrates and a time of togetherness.
- Southbridge Playcentre $200 - to help them cater a dinner to raise funds for keeping their equipment and buildings up to date
- Ellesmere College Clay target shooting team $100 - to help with funding that they require to send a team to the NZ Secondary School Champs!
