Join the ‘Fill The Blues Bus

with More FM’ campaign this Christmas! 

Full 4 DEC Event Day details below

This holiday season, the Blues are teaming up with More FM for a special cause – and we need your help!  

Food insecurity is a real challenge for many people at this time of year, so we’re collecting non-perishable food items to support those most in need throughout our region. 

We have set a lofty goal of collecting 30,000 non-perishable food items between 4 November and 4 December. We will then provide these food items to three amazing charities who will distribute them to those most in need this Christmas.  

How can you get involved?   

We need your generous donations please. 

We’re partnering with businesses, schools, rugby clubs, and local organisations to join in as HERO Collectors from Monday 4 November until Wednesday 4 December. During this time, we’re asking all members of the public to please donate non-perishable food items to these HERO Collectors to gather up all together.  See the list of drop off locations further down.

You can also make a difference by donating directly to our online collection fund. 100% of all monetary donations will go to the three amazing charities we’ve partnered with:  

  • The Village Community Trust (West Auckland)   

  • South Seas (South Auckland)   

  • Whakaora Kai (Northland)  

EVENT DAY - December 4 @ BLUES HQ!

To celebrate the incredible community support, we will be hosting a Fill The Bus Event Day at Blues HQ on Wednesday 4 December from 10am to 2pm. You’re invited to drop off your donations and enjoy a fun-filled day with:
