Pāmu Farms staff know they have been lucky to be able to keep their jobs throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. But they also know there are plenty of others who are struggling right now.
So the 150 staff of the company's dairy farm near Taupō took up a food collection, and last Tuesday it was handed over to Taupō Civil Defence to distribute. Farm business manager Jason Halford said the idea came from a desire to help those who had not been able to stay in work.
"As primary sector producers we have been fortunate to keep our jobs at this time. We wanted to raise awareness of the food plight that people are facing," he said.
