Cash for Kai - New Plymouth Community Foodbank Winter Appeal 2026
Please give what you can today - together we can help keep our community fed, warm and supported this winter.
New Plymouth, Taranaki
As we head into winter and Matariki 2026, many whanau in our community are facing some tough choices, many are having to choose between paying high power bills or putting kai on the table.
At New Plymouth Community Foodbank we are seeing more people needing support then ever before.
No one should have to go to bed hungry. Nutritious food means children can go to bed fed and nourished, families can cope with rising costs and food helps keep people warm through the coldest months. But right now we need your help. Food supplies from our annual food drive have been largely distributed and we need a mid winter top up to keep kai flowing through the cold months ahead.
About us
Our purpose is to ensure all people in New Plymouth have access to food when they need it.
To collect, store and distribute food, essential household items and other resources to people in need within our local community.
Use of funds
Your donation will help:
- fill empty shelves with essential kai
- support whanau facing winter hardship
- ensure food is available during Matariki and beyond
Every dollar turns money in to kai for real people in our community.
