A shopping centre is rallying community support for families in need this Christmas as financial pressures continue to bite.

Tauranga Crossing has chosen Tauranga Community Foodbank for a third year as the cause supported through its Trees for Charity initiative.

The centre will also be collecting food donations for this year’s Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal.

The six-week annual appeal, launched on Saturday, collects food and money to support the foodbank through the holidays and into 2027.

Tauranga Crossing unveiled Trees for Charity on November 7, a Christmas tree installation with 20 trees.

Twenty community groups from across Tauranga came together to decorate the trees to be donated to Tauranga Community Foodbank families.

The trees will be displayed until December 1, when they will be delivered to the families.

In addition to a decorated Christmas tree, each recipient will receive a $500 Pak’nSave voucher, delivering a total of $10,000 in grocery support to local families.

Tauranga Crossing chief executive Andrew Campbell said the campaign was about bringing the community together.
