2023 New Plymouth Community Foodbank Christmas Food Drive
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!

This comprises Deb Harding (vocals), Mike Harding (vocals & guitar), Lisa Dohig (vocals) and Ken Kowalchuk (vocals & bass). They enjoy singing folk music and songs about people and places. Songs from Ireland, Britain, NZ and even Alabama.
Songs of intrigue, inspiration, solace and celebration.
Songs to inspire and bring an audience together in unison and harmony. To quote one of their songs, "Let the music speak for itself".
