Cater Plus Foundation has been driven by a simple yet powerful belief: small acts can create big impacts.

Starting as a way to support the Cater Plus team and their families, we’ve grown into a charitable trust dedicated to making a difference across Aotearoa New Zealand.

We’re not here to move mountains but to create ripples of change through everyday actions. Rooted in values of community, sustainability, and empowerment, we focus on doing what’s right, what’s needed, and what truly makes a difference.

Our story is one of connection—between people, communities, and the planet. With a deep connection to food as our foundation, we celebrate the magic that happens when a community comes together, offers a hand up, and empowers one another to thrive.
