The Tairua Foodbank is established for the benefit of the Tairua community. It is designed to serve community members in challenging circumstances.
The Foodbank seeks to ensure people in genuine need receive the best support the Foodbank can give them.
Funds come mainly from community donations.
Application for food delivery is done through this website. The Manager’s phone contact is listed, but he will direct applicants to the ‘Applying for food delivery’ page. Once the application is received, the Manager will arrange a prompt delivery.
Note that, initially, food deliveries requested will be processed without question. However, clients requesting third or more deliveries within a year may be referred to extra or alternative assistance.
The manager will have to turn down clients if and when (i) there are insufficient funds available or (ii) the client’s expressed need does not meet the Manager’s guidelines.
Any client details or dealings with the Foodbank will be kept in strict confidence. The only exception may be where disclosure is required by law or by a government agency.
