With just days of the Rotorua Daily Post Christmas Appeal remaining, Te Puia staff have pulled together their donations for the Salvation Army Foodbank.
Te Puia HR manager Denise Emery said Te Puia supported the appeal each year.
"Over the past few years we have been donating via one of our staff members whose daughter works closely with the Salvation Army, so we normally work through her. This year is the first time we have done it directly."
Mrs Emery said Christmas was the season to give to those less fortunate.
"We are all about whanau, it's a really important aspect of who we are," she said.
