Octacan 2026 – Annual Foodbank Appeal

Octacan 2026 is one of those simple, practical community events that makes a real difference where it counts. Built around the spirit of winter giving, it invites people to show up with cans, non-perishable food, toiletries, or whatever they can spare to help stock Dunedin’s busiest foodbank. There’s something powerful about an event like this because it turns everyday giving into something visible, shared, and local. It’s not about fanfare — it’s about people helping people, and making sure more families are supported through the colder months. Community-minded, accessible, and grounded in real need, it’s the kind of appeal that reflects the best of Dunedin. Whether you drop by with a few items or make a bigger contribution, every donation helps strengthen the support available through Presbyterian Support Otago and Family Works this winter.
