Christmas Appeal 2024

The holidays are a time for joy, family, and of course, good food. But for many families in our community, putting food on the table is a daily struggle. That’s where we come in — and where you can help.

For over 12 years, the Foodbank Christmas Appeal has been bringing our community together to support those in need. Driven by the amazing team at the Bay of Plenty Times, this campaign has raised over $1 million in cash and nearly $500,000 in groceries. That’s huge! The donations represent anywhere from 30 – 60% of our annual donations.

But the need is still great, and we’re counting on you to help us make this year’s appeal the best one yet.

Super Support inspires more than just full bellies

Tauranga Community Foodbank team

We are incredibly privileged to be part of the Super Support initiative, which has created some truly amazing moments for both our team and the families we serve. 

Super Support is a collaborative service that provides Tauranga’s older community with free nutritious pre-cooked meals, food supplies and wrap-around support.

But the impact of Super Support goes beyond just meals – it has sparked kindness and creativity in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Recently, two of our dedicated volunteers were out delivering food support when they noticed that some of the people receiving this were not only struggling with food insecurity but also facing the cold. Without a second thought, these volunteers took it upon themselves to start making blankets to provide extra warmth alongside the meals.

This simple act of kindness speaks to the heart of what Super Support is all about: community, compassion, and going above and beyond. We’re proud to be part of a movement that not only fights hunger but also strengthens the bonds between us all. Every contribution, big or small, has a ripple effect that creates positive change—and we are so grateful to witness it firsthand.

A big thank you to everyone involved in Super Support for making moments like these possible!
