2023 New Plymouth Community Foodbank Christmas Food Drive

Sharon Wills from New Plymouth Community Food Bank

The 2023 New Plymouth Community Foodbank Christmas Food Drive is taking place on Monday 4th December from 5.30pm until late.
We encourage everyone to get involved in this event (please invite and tag your friends on Facebook); donations are distributed back into your community to families and people in need throughout 2024.
Our food drive spans across New Plymouth and Bell Block, and it will go on rain or shine, regardless of the weather!

If you're able to lend a hand, we would be immensely grateful for non-perishable food items and household products. You can leave your donations near your letterbox for our collection teams to pick up, or you can hand them directly to our friendly volunteers as they make their rounds in your neighbourhood.

Keep an ear out for the sirens, car horns or music; that's the sign that our collection teams are nearby.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your support. Your participation is genuinely valued!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
