The Salvation Army s annual Fill the Bus appeal.
The Rotorua Daily Post Christmas Appeal enters its final week on Monday and the efforts from the local community so far have been staggering.
The appeal aims to help the Salvation Army Foodbank give more than 200 food parcels to families in need this Christmas as well as ensure the shelves are well stocked for next year.
Salvation Army corps officer Kylie Overbye said there was some concern earlier in the year. With Covid-19 and the resulting lockdowns leaving more people in need of a helping hand than ever, the foodbank was going to need all the help it could get.
