Annual Farmers Christmas Campaign

Latest News
Written By Kim Manunui

The Annual Farmers Christmas Campaign is back for its 11th year, bringing a much-needed boost to hospices across the country. This national campaign, which has raised close to $8 million in total, is a vital lifeline for local hospice services, supporting the comfort, dignity, and specialised care that hospices provide. For our Taupō community, last year’s campaign raised nearly $12,000 through the generosity of those visiting the local Farmers store. This contribution has enabled us to continue our mission of providing compassionate support and care for our patients and their families.

One of the unique aspects of the Farmers campaign is that 100% of the donations raised through each store’s bauble sales and over the counter donations stays within that community.

This year’s bauble is designed with a snowflake theme, symbolising the individuality and beauty within each snowflake, just as each person’s journey and care needs are unique. Though a blanket of snow may appear uniform from a distance, each snowflake has its distinct shape and pattern, just as each individual’s journey is met with personalised, unique care from Hospice. This snowflake bauble represents the invaluable support that community members give to make that personalised care possible, a gift that truly makes a difference.

Don’t forget to pop in and write your special message to your loved one and hang it on the Tree of Remembrance in store.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
