Jacob Willemsen Trust 2.23

The Jacob Willemsen trust is a non-profit organization that is devoted to assisting families, struggling financially, within their
local community.

Our organization works with these families to educate them on how to grow healthy food; to prepare and cook healthy meals as well as we lead and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The Trustees in our organization have combined our life experiences to draw together a holistic approach that will enhance our programs.

Our backgrounds are quite diverse, ranging from professional chefs to qualified health and fitness practitioners.

Amongst the trustees, we also have many years of involvement and understanding in the horticultural sector.

We are very concerned at the continual downturn and hardships experienced by many sectors of the community.

It would be fair to say, that even middle class New Zealand are struggling to make ends meet, and cover basic necessities.
We believe that we have developed an ideal program to assist directly with this particular issue.

This will be done by demonstrating how to cook inexpensive nutritious meals, and supplement store bought food with home-grown vegetables.
