A huge thank you to Toi Ohomai and everyone involved in the incredible Dish-rupted event 💚

As part of the Flavours of Plenty Festival Toi Ohomai's culinary team brought together creativity, learning, and purpose in such a meaningful way. Good Neighbour was honoured to provide rescued ingredients that were then transformed by talented culinary students into a truly memorable multi-course dining experience.

We’re incredibly grateful to have received a $4,660 donation from the event. This support will go directly into our community meal programme, helping us continue providing nourishing meals for people in our community who are unable to cook for themselves.

It was a privilege to be part of an event that not only showcased incredible talent but also shone a light on food rescue, sustainability, and the power of community working together.

Thank you, Toi Ohomai, for your generosity, partnership, and the heart behind this event!

Part of our Good Neighbour Kai is our incredible Fruit Picking Team 🍊🍎 This group of dedicated volunteers heads out each week to backyards overflowing with fresh fruit and goodness.

Our team picks, sorts, and redistributes the fruit throughout the community, helping ensure that beautiful produce doesn’t go to waste and instead reaches families who can enjoy it.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of people who open their gardens to us and allow us to collect their excess fruit. We absolutely love seeing surplus fruit shared rather than wasted!

Last year alone, our volunteers picked an amazing 74,680kg of fruit for the community, a huge effort that made a real difference for so many whānau! 🍐🍋

Woohoo! 🎉 What an absolute privilege it was to host a street party for Shelley Street and Balmedie Ridge...our Neighbours Day Street Party winners!

It was incredible to see the genuine connection and kindness in this neighbourhood, and hear the stories that make these streets so special. These are two communities that truly look out for one another, and they were so deserving of this celebration.

Want to win a street party next year? Start right where you are, say hello to your neighbours, share a cuppa, lend a hand with a project, and build the kind of community you’d love to live in.

Be the Good Neighbour in your street 💚

Let’s give you a tour of our brand-new Mobile Laundry and Shower Unit! 🚐✨

Coming to a community near you, this free service brings essential hygiene directly to people experiencing homelessness and hardship across Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty.

It’s not just about clean clothes and a hot shower; it’s about dignity, connection, and well-being. By meeting people where they are, we remove barriers, improve health, and create safe, welcoming spaces. 💚

This service is in collaboration with incredible community organisations who are on the front line of supporting people experiencing homelessness. We are rolling it out one venue at a time until this unit will be all over Tauranga during the week! Funded by TECT BayTrust and Tauranga City Council, the unit will be stationed daily primarily at community meal locations, so people can access food, showers, clean clothes, and wellbeing support all in one place. If you are a community organisation that would like to find out about having this at your venue, please get in touch by emailing [email protected]

To get us started we are collaborating with Elim's community meal on a Wednesday evening and are looking forward to partnering with other organisations on the remaining days of the week! Follow along to see the trailer in action and find out where it’ll be next!!

What a year…and what a community! 💚

As we wrap up the 2025/26 financial year, we’re taking a moment to celebrate what’s been achieved across our city, from rescuing 664 tonnes of food to seeing 88 rangatahi graduate through our programmes!!

Behind every number are real people, real stories, and real change. This mahi is only possible because of our incredible volunteers, funders, and sponsors who continue to show up and support what we do.

Swipe to see the impact we’ve made together!

WOW! What a huge effort from the Classic Developments team out at our firewood depot! 💪

Led by Nathan, our new Community Projects Manager, the team rolled up ready to get stuck into some serious mahi, sorting, cutting, loading, and delivering firewood alongside our Good Neighbour team. They also brought their own vehicles and trailers, going the extra mile to help keep everything moving efficiently!

It was hands-on, practical work all day long, with plenty of energy, teamwork, and commitment to getting the job done.

We’re so grateful for the time, effort, and generosity shown by the whole team. It makes a real difference to what we can achieve together 💚
