Proudly Supporting Our Community
This joyful moment is just one of many that inspire the Vector Group Charitable Trust and our Kai Resilience initiatives here in the Bay of Plenty. Our goal is to support our community in growing their own food and building a stronger connection to the land.
Proudly Supported by Vector Group Charitable Trust
This joyous occasion is a perfect example of why we’re so grateful for our community partners. Vector Group Charitable Trust and its “Troppo” initiative are dedicated to fostering kai resilience in the Bay of Plenty. They believe that true community strength begins with a strong connection to the land and the food we grow.
Their support is about more than just resources; it’s about nurturing a culture of growth, both in our gardens and in our people. When we see a testimony like this—a simple bunch of bananas bringing so much joy and education—it encourages us to continue this journey together as a community. The trust’s work, through programs like Troppo, helps to create these very moments of discovery and learning. They champion initiatives that empower us to be more self-sufficient, to teach our children where their food comes from, and to build a vibrant, sustainable future for Te Puke.
We extend a huge ngā mihi to the Vector Group Charitable Trust. Their commitment to our community is helping to cultivate not just plants, but also a sense of belonging and well-being for all of us.
Enjoy the little moments of discovery, and let’s celebrate the beauty of our natural environment and the people who help us grow.
Ngā mihi,
