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.
