Thanks to Fonterra's Grass Roots Fund, members of LandSAR (Search and Rescue) Wanganui have scored stylish jackets from Earth Sea Sky.
Alex Loggie, LandSAR Wanganui chairman says the group put in an application ... "And they were gracious enough to give us an allocation of $5000 for PPE, Personal Protective Equipment.
We purchased these jackets from Earth Sea Sky, one of the top manufacturers in the world and we have a really good relationship with them as a supplier.
It was fortuitous that Fonterra came to the party with some money.
"Our [LandSAR's] primary role is to support the police in operational searches for lost parties from coastline to alpine. We need tough, top quality equipment and we are a charitable organisation. We rely on donations and funding from the likes of Fonterra. It's really good they're supporting us so we'll support them with branding."
