Nestlé Supports Community Volunteers


Nestlé is running a competion through their web site called “Reward a Community Volunteer” . This aims to recognise the huge contribution that volunteers make in the New Zealand community. It asks people to nominate a person they know who is undertaking great work in the community that is unpaid who they believe deserves a hamper of Nestlé product valued at $150; there are 10 hampers to be won. In addition, all people nominted will receive a letter from Nestlé acknowledging their contribution to the community and a voucher for a free box of Nestlé Scorched Almonds. This is the 4th year the promotion has run and around 400 people are nominated each year, meaning it is a very hard task to select the hamper winners.


This year Nestlé has also partnered with Newstalk ZB to provide a separate promotion on radio. This is a national campaign throughout New Zealand and should reach around 400,000 people. There will be 2 Nestlé hampers given away each week day during Volunteer Awareness Week between 15 - 19th June. Radio advertising started 10th of June, helping to draw attention to the week.


Nestlé supports volunteering as we recoginse the vital role volunteers make to the well being of our communities. As a company, we give each of our staff the opportunity of taking one paid days leave each year to undertake a voluntary work in the community.


We endorse and appreciate the role of Volunteering New Zealand in supporting and encouraging volunteering.
For further information on nominaton process please visit Nestle website.
The deadline for nominations is 30 June.
