Meals that Matter

Recently, a few of our staff joined forces with The Kai Ika Project– Wellington, Everybody Eats, and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira to support an incredible community initiative.

Together, we prepared more than 200 servings of seafood chowder, turning fresh ingredients into hearty meals for local families. The day highlighted the power of collaboration, with staff from each organisation working side by side to make a tangible difference.

The event even featured on Seven Sharp, showcasing how partnerships like these can have a lasting impact in our communities. As proud sponsors of The Kai Ika Project Wellington, it was especially rewarding for our teams to see firsthand how their involvement helps provide meals for those who need them most.

Giving Back, Together

At Rutherford & Bond and King Toyota, we are committed to supporting the communities we serve. We have recently introduced a new initiative for our staff – a dedicated Day of Giving Back. This programme allows every member of our team to contribute their time and skills to a local cause of their choice.

The seafood chowder-making day was just the beginning. We look forward to seeing where our people choose to give back next, and the positive impact they will continue to make across the Wellington region.

If you or your workplace would like to get involved in supporting this movement, you can learn more about the Meals That Matter programme here: Everybody Eats – Meals That Matter.

When organisations and individuals come together with a shared purpose, real change becomes possible.
