There were smiles all round as community causes across the region celebrated a boost in funds – all thanks to people fuelling up. Twelve Marlborough charities have benefited from a share of $16,000 thanks to Z Energy’s flagship community programme Good in the Hood. Local retailer Jamie Hobby hosted group representatives at Z Springlands on Tuesday morning to celebrate. Helping such great groups out is all part
of being part of the community, he says. “All the votes for Z Good in the Hood all connect together for us because many of the people in recipient organisations are regular customers too - supporting them means they can continue supporting Marlborough. “We like to be a business that does make local impacts, and today is the fun part of the project we acknowledge our donations - it’s easy to write cheques, but we pride ourselves on continuing to support these worthwhile groups year-round.”
Customers were given a token to place in the box representing the charity they wanted to help. Chosen charities are: Marlborough Four Paws Charitable Trust, Victim Support, Plunket Marlborough, Life Flight Air Ambulance & Westpac Chopper, Waikawa Marae, Meat the Need, Picton Volunteer Fire Brigade, Hospice Marlborough, Stroke Foundation of New Zealand, Marlborough Community Foodbank Trust, Look Good Feel Better, and Selmes Garden Charitable Trust were all picked by people buying fuel.
