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!

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.
