The theft of kitchen appliances from Mangapai Hall has prompted a reminder from police for community clubs and groups to check their security.
Sometime overnight on Monday night or early Tuesday the fridge-freezer, dishwasher, microwave and electric jug were stolen.
Mangapai Hall Society committee vice-chairwoman Jan Poulson said it was upsetting just a day after the community's first market day on November 5.
Since posting the theft on the hall's Facebook page, there have been offers of replacement appliances, and offers to donate services or goods for a fundraiser.
Ms Poulson said the community had been very supportive.
