Bakers Delight has always been a strong supporter of causes that resonate deeply with both our franchisees and the communities we serve. With 19 locations across New Zealand and growing, each of our bakeries serve as cornerstones within their communities.
Our commitment to community support stems from a deep belief in giving back to those who support us. By contributing to various causes, we aim to ensure that those in need have their basic needs met, fostering a sense of unity and care within our communities. This approach not only benefits the communities we serve but also lifts our staff’s morale, creating a positive and engaged workforce.
Our team focuses on causes that resonate with our franchisees, staff, and customers. On a local level, Bakers Delight loves engaging with schools, charities, and sports clubs through bread donations and fundraising efforts.
We also run national campaigns to support causes such as the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ (PCFNZ) and I Am Hope, aligning our efforts with initiatives close to our hearts.
Notable Campaigns
- Blue September (Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ): In September 2023, we supported PCFNZ by donating 100% of the proceeds from our specially created blue fun buns, raising over $41,500 in five weeks.
- I Am Hope: On 3 November 2023, Bakers Delight franchisees donated 100% of their High Fibre Lo-GI loaf sales to support Gumboot Friday.
Our Impact on the Community
Our commitment to daily bread donations, local fundraising activities, and national fundraising campaigns creates positive and tangible changes. By providing unsold bread to local charities, we address immediate food insecurity issues. Our local fundraising efforts support educational initiatives, youth programs, and local events, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration. Our national campaigns raise awareness and funds for important causes, amplifying our impact and inspiring community action.
