Last night the Salvation Army, The Daily Post and Classic Hits joined forces to collect food for the Salvation Army foodbank.
Volunteers went door-to-door in Springfield and Western Heights collecting for The Daily Post Christmas Appeal.
Food collected will go to the foodbank and will also be used for 120 Christmas hampers being put together to help struggling families during the Christmas period.
Staff from The Daily Post and volunteers from the Salvation Army and members of the Lake Okareka Rural Fire Force headed out on to the streets of Springfield between 6pm and 8pm. Staff from Classic Hits, Rotorua police, Smiths City and St John Rotorua collected donations of food in Western Heights at the same time.
The "can drive" was a huge success with hundreds of dollars' worth of food collected.
