The Momentum Waikato Community Foundation and Onyx Restaurant NoC gave our members a chance to catch up over a delicious morning tea, as we found out more about Momentum.
Momentum Waikato Community Foundation is an independent, permanent resource for high impact philanthropic giving within the Waikato region. It links generous donors to strategic charitable investments targeted at transformational change, whilst building a permanent endowment for the benefit of generations to come.
Momentum Waikato works by pooling funds to have a greater impact in bringing about positive and powerful social change. The Foundation is part of a global movement where communities are taking back responsibility for finding solutions to their own challenges.
Jody from Onyx spoke about the restaurant's commitment to sustainability, including their recent ban on plastic straws. Did you know that half a million plastic straws are thrown away around the world everyday, and end up in landfill and our oceans?!
Congratulations to Liora Saad, who won a bottle of bubbles, and Sally Carrick who won a lovely beauty voucher (kindly donated by Soul Beauty and Skincare Clinic)!
