Today is the last day you can drop off food and grocery donations at the Tauranga Community Foodbank before Christmas.
So come on, Tauranga, chuck a couple of items in the car and head on down.
The foodbank closes at 2pm after a year of hard work.
"Well, what can I say except – wow, what an amazing Christmas Appeal we have had. But it's not over yet," foodbank manager Nicki Goodwin said yesterday.
"We are open until 2pm tomorrow so please continue to bring in your donations because they are important and really do make a difference."

Goodwin said after closing time today, foodbank donations can still be made at the four libraries in Tauranga and at the Bay of Plenty Times office on Cameron Rd today and during office hours from December 27.
The foodbank is open again on January 3.
Meanwhile, the Bay of Plenty Times Christmas Appeal total now stands at $118,868.10 raised.
In just under six weeks, there have been 29,291 food items (valued at $2 each) and $60,286.10 cash donated.
Yesterday, the foodbank's dedicated team of volunteers and staff were still busy making up parcels, counting and storing food and grocery items, and greeting and helping visiting families in need.
