This programme supports families who may be facing food insecurity across Aotearoa by providing access to everyday Anchor products.

Feed Out is a national charity working with farmers to donate their milk to those in need. Fonterra processes the milk and delivers Anchor 1kg milk powder to the New Zealand Food Network who store & redistribute large volumes of surplus and donated food to over 150 foodbanks throughout New Zealand.

Alongside our Feeding New Zealand Communities programme, we are committed to preventing good food going to landfill so we also redirect this to communities where it's needed the most through the New Zealand Food Network.

Together we have delivered 22 million* serves of dairy to communities across Aotearoa *as of end January 2023.

Fonterra formed a partnership with Rural Support Trust in August 2022. We have been working alongside the trust to identify ways we can support our rural communities to address mental health and resilience tools. 

We are a sponsor in the in the upcoming Mat Chisolm time out tour Roadshow which supports rural communities to start the conversation about mental health. Check upcoming dates here.

Fonterra fully funds counselling for all of our farmers and employees via our employee assistance programme for any personal or work related issues.  To access that support visit your farm source account for more details.

Hapori means community, kinship & Coming together for a common cause that we intend to create meaningful impact in our communities.

We offer support to community groups through

• Cash funding
• Donations of dairy product
• Access to resources like volunteering, use of marquees, use of BBQ's

Fonterra works with each of the local foundations on local causes & projects to ensure funding has an impact for the long term.
