Thank you from the foodbank

Thanks to the generosity of the local community, Octacan 2024 was a remarkable success with 21,022 cans being collected for the foodbank! This allows us to continue to offer food support to those in the community who need help.

Thank you to everyone who donated towards our foodbank, every can helps. A special thank you to the students, whānau and staff at King’s High School and Taieri College, who significantly increased their donations this year. Thank you to Better Moves who helped count and move all the cans on the day and to MediaWorks, First Church and Dunedin City Motors for their support. Olivia Willems, the Fundraising & Events Coordinator noted, “I felt so proud of our community, coming together in a time like this to support those who need it most.”

Our foodbank needs your support all year round! Donations can be dropped off directly to our Family Works office at 407 Moray Place, Monday - Friday 8.30am - 5pm. Or you can donate online to help keep our foodbank stocked!
