trust born out of a desire to put food on tables has been given a major boost by the Hugo Charitable Trust. Food for Love in Wānaka was established almost six years ago and has grown into an active volunteer organisation that has provided thousands of meals. Last week the Hugo Charitable Trust presented Food for Love with a donation of $34,000 for a new Suzuki Vitara. Food for Love recruits volunteers to provide home cooked meals, prepare bulk cooked meals, and deliver meals. It also provides supplementary weekend meals for the elderly where these meals

are not supplied by the providers of the five-day service. “From a few neighbourhood meals to 4600 meals to date in a year, Food For Love is a significant undertaking,” Food for Love board chair Marilyn Duncan said. Food for Love is now a charitable trust and one of its founders, Bex Sarginson, is the Executive Officer. “We are so fortunate that Alice Watson, granddaughter of Hugh Green, referred Food for Love to the Hugo Charitable Trust. Alice recognised the need for a vehicle to support Food for Love in its work,” Marilyn said. The Hugo Charitable Trust was
established in May 2017 by Maryanne Green, the eldest daughter of Irish philanthropist and businessman the late Hugh Green, known in Ireland as Hugo. Maryanne worked closely at Hugh’s side for over 25 years where she developed a deep understanding of Hugh’s philanthropic priorities and wishes. Maryanne set up the Hugo Charitable Trust to continue Hugh’s philanthropic legacy and to give back to the people of New Zealand. “Food for Love is very grateful to the Hugo Charitable Trust for their gift helping us support people facing challenges with a warm, delivered meal,” Marilyn said.
