New Plymouth Community Foodbank and Waitara Foodbank Pataka Kai work closely together to provide a much-needed service within our communities with this year tracking towards being our busiest year on record with more people reaching out for assistance.
Our annual Christmas food drives were a success in December however due to increasing demand for our services we need to top up the shelves and pay some bills.
So, we are collaborating to raise funds by hosting a charity auction this June, with all proceeds to be utilised within our communities to support people who are experiencing food insecurity.
Donations of quality goods, experiences and services are needed to make this event a success – we would appreciate your support with a donation from your business. If you would like to buy a ticket to the event please check out events.humanitix.com...
On behalf of Waitara Foodbank Pataka Kai and New Plymouth Community Foodbank, ngā mihi nui.
There's strength in community, especially when times are hard. Victim Support is here to ensure that nobody faces the aftermath of crime, suicide or traumatic events alone. But we need you! Bring your unique life experiences to the table and join us in meaningful work that changes lives.

Tucked away between Waimea St, Pembroke St and Frankley Rd is a recreational area known variously as Waimea Stream Reserves, Salaman Simpson Reserve and more recently Founders Plantation. The land was a farm belonging to Abraham Wally Mohamad Salaman in the 1930s. It passed on to his wife Annie Salaman Simpson who sold it to Riddick Brothers and Still in the late 1950s. They subdivided the area, with the land bordering Waimea stream gifted to the Council as reserve contribution. By the early 1990s it was fairly derelict, and Merrilands Lions (sadly no longer in existence) teamed up with the Taranaki Founders Society to plant 1991 native trees to commemorate the city’s 150 th Jubilee . Two large stainless-steel monuments document the many hundreds of individuals, families, societies and businesses who donated trees and helped to plant them. The inscribed names and messages can be found in the attached pdf file – is your family among them??
New Plymouth Central Lions have taken on the task of looking after the plantation, with many working bees organised to clean up weeds and invasive trees, and plant more native trees and shrubs supplied by NPDC. Methanex and Dialog Fitzroy have also lent a hand. We would love to know whether there is a map or grid reference in existence that shows where people planted their trees (you can see in the photo that the trees are laid out in a very orderly fashion). Please contact us if you are aware of one!
We also hope to hold a public BBQ to welcome back those families that have ancestors or members or businesses that planted or sponsored trees. We hope you’ll come and see how your trees have grown and view your name on the memorial pylons and plaques, while sharing your family history that is now commemorated by the Founders Plantation. The planned date is Saturday 4 th of May at noon, with a couple of fall-back days if the weather is bad. Please let us know if you would be interested in attending this ( Contacts: Roger 027 554 7006 Charles 027 839 7775 )
We look forward to hearing from you!

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
