In the quiet hum of a warehouse, where shelves are stacked high with packaging solutions, a different kind of mission is unfolding. At Comag Agencies, innovation and quality have always been at the heart of what they do. But in recent years, something more profound has taken shape—a commitment to corporate social responsibility that extends beyond business, reaching deep into the heart of Northland.

It all started with a simple jar.

From Packaging to Purpose

Comag Agencies, known for its premium packaging solutions, had always focused on ensuring products reached consumers safely and efficiently. But when Bay of Islands Honey approached them with an idea—to supply jars for honey destined for vulnerable families—Comag saw an opportunity to turn everyday packaging into something more meaningful.

Each year, thousands of jars and lids are provided, enabling Bay of Islands Honey to package their golden sweetness. These jars don’t just hold honey; they carry warmth, care, and the spirit of community.

Filling More Than Just Jars

Behind the scenes, the impact of these jars unfolds in the hands of volunteers. In the lead-up to Christmas, Bald Angels Charitable Trust transforms into a hive of activity, where hands move swiftly to fill, seal, and label each jar. The honey is then nestled into festive kai boxes, alongside essentials and treats, ready to be delivered to families who might otherwise struggle to find joy during the holiday season.

For the volunteers, every jar represents a message of hope. Every label affixed is a reminder that someone, somewhere, cares.

Beyond the Festive Season

While these honey jars bring sweetness to Christmas, the commitment doesn’t end with the holidays. Bald Angels continues to provide vital support throughout the year—distributing warm clothing, offering youth programs, and ensuring no child in Northland feels forgotten.

Comag Agencies, too, has found a deeper purpose in their work. What was once a business centered around packaging has become a bridge between businesses and communities, proving that corporate social responsibility isn’t just about donations—it’s about impact.

A Jar of Honey, A Jar of Change

In the hands of a struggling parent, a jar of honey becomes more than a condiment—it’s a reminder that they are not alone. In the hands of a child, it’s a symbol of joy, of warmth, of a community rallying behind them.

And at Comag Agencies, that’s what matters most. One jar at a time, they’re helping shape a future where businesses don’t just sell products—they build communities.
