One club, 14 volunteers, 32 hours and a generous community has raised $7700 for the Tauranga Community Foodbank.
Tauranga Te Papa Rotary Club volunteers worked over two weekends for their Cash or Cans Appeal; one was at Countdown Bureta, and the other at Countdown Fraser Cove.
Over four days of eight-hour campaigns, volunteers took turns doing two-hour stints.
This healthy injection into the foodbank comes with just two days to go for the Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal, in partnership with Gilmours Wholesale Food and Beverage Tauriko.
