The ageing membership of the Tauranga Sunrise Lions may no longer be able to go door-to-door collecting for the needy but they have found another way to contribute to the cause.
Tauranga Sunrise Lions president Diane Karl presented all the donations made by their members over the year to foodbank board members this week.
"We feel that we're gold card members now, we can't do the hard yards anymore. We do projects which raise funds which go to the community," she said.
"We've donated $1000 to the foodbank for use where they see it goes best."
Tauranga Foodbank board member Sue van Os was "very, very grateful" for the donation.
