Supporting strong communities

We serve more than 4 million customers each week through 326 locally owned stores across the North Island. Because our store owners live in the communities they serve, they understand what matters to local people and families.

Every day, our stores support local schools, clubs, charities and community groups through donations, sponsorships and grassroots initiatives that make a difference close to home.

Through the Foodstuffs North Island HereforNZ Fund, we also help community and food support organisations support families doing it tough and strengthen resilience when communities need it most.
