The volunteer packing day saw Kraft Heinz employees pack and box micronutrient meals, which are now being delivered to schools, clinics and vocational centres all over the world.

Kraft Heinz’s Australian CEO, Bruno Lino, said the initiative has helped contribute to Kraft Heinz’s global pledge to donate 1 billion nutritious meals to people in need by 2021 as part of its partnership with the philanthropic organisation, Rise Against Hunger.
