"This is just the start of our relationship with the Salvation Army and we're looking forward to supporting them long into the future."
Rotorua Salvation Army corps officer Ralph Overbye said the Salvation Army couldn't offer the services it provided without help from people and organisations, and the donation from OCS was just "great".
"Some of the food and household products donated by OCS will go into some food parcels now, while the rest will contribute to our much-needed Christmas hampers. The need for food and support is year-round, and this contribution is much appreciated."
Make your donations of non-perishable food at the Rotorua Daily Post office: 1143 Hinemoa St or the Salvation Army's Community Ministries, 1188 Amohia St.
