Winter Appeal 2025

Sponsor a Local Kid This Winter! For many families, winter means tough choices—heat or food?

At Tauranga Community Foodbank, we're seeing the impact of that first-hand - more than 1,000 children access our support every month. That includes 80 to 100 new households turning to us for help, many for the first time.

That’s why we’re calling on YOU to help!

Just $6 a day—the cost of a café coffee—provides a child with a full day of nutritious meals. Whether you sponsor a day, a week, or a month, it all adds up to a huge difference for a local kid.

Can it be? Is it really? We’re nearly at that time!

The countdown to Christmas is on! But it’s not a time that’s met with joyous anticipation from everyone. Just ask any parent. It’s expensive. There’s more need. There’s more expectation! So this is a pretty tough time when resources are stretched. 

Each year, driven by the legends at Bay of Plenty Times, the Christmas Appeal raises vital funds for our community. 

Did you know that over the past twelve years, the appeal has raised more than $1 million in cash donations, and nearly $500,000 worth of grocery donations. 

Last year, the $170,000 cash donations we received from the appeal represented approximately 60% of our annual donation income. 

That allowed us to buy staple food for the first half of next year, which is always a huge relief. 

And because it’s Christmas, the team work extra hard to provide extra Christmas goodies for our clients and spread some well needed cheer. 

Here’s the article at the end of the last year. We’ll share some details soon about this years’ appeal.
