The people organising the community Christmas lunch for Rotorua's needy and lonely this year are rapt with the response from the community but still need support to pull off the community celebration lunch.
The annual lunch is now hosted by combined Rotorua churches and will be held at St Johns
Church on Ranolf St starting at midday on Christmas Day.
Organiser Catherine Gettins said there had been an "amazing response" to their call for food and support but they still needed more food and help to prepare the meal on the day.
If you have any food or money to give, someone will be at the church on Friday, December 21, between 9am and midday, collecting for the event.
Then on Sunday at 2pm they hoped people would pop along to the church to help peel vegetables and prepare for the lunch.
