Rotorua Salvation Army Corps officer Kylie Overbye believes this year's Rotorua Daily Post Christmas Appeal to be a reflection of the community in which we live.
"The amount of food that has been donated is overwhelming," Overbye said.
"It actually makes me quite emotional, the sheer generosity of local people.
Our community gives more and more each year."
In an earlier story, Overbye said generosity had not just come by way of donations, but also in the number of people who had volunteered to help with the collections.
"The amount of non-perishable items received this year made finding storage a little difficult but the additional food helped the Salvation Army give more to more people.
