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!

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
