Empowering rural well-being
ANZCO Foods passionately supports the well-being of rural communities, contributing to industry prosperity through strategic initiatives. Committed to New Zealand's farming communities, we prioritise supporting organisations dedicated to their health and wellness.
Supporting rural schools
ANZCO Foods donates 50 cents for each processed cull cow and bobby calf, totalling over $1 million in the past eight years, including $117,000 to rural schools in 2019.
