A local lingerie shop is providing support for Tauranga locals in more ways than one.
Temptations Lingerie and Swim Wear on Mount Mainstreet has collected six large boxes of food and groceries for the Tauranga Community Foodbank.
During August, customers were encouraged to drop off two non-perishable items.
"It was a good promotion, a win-win for both sides. The customer was getting their product at 20 per cent off and the foodbank's getting something in return," owner Sue Harding said.
"I always hear about the foodbank, and I always hear how desperate they are. And everybody at Christmas time seems to rally around, and I thought, well, it's mid-winter."
