Cram the Van
It's time to cram the van with non-perishable food items, dog/cat food, or wrapped gifts and toys!
Pacific Toyota Cram the Van 2026 is on, with the Radio 1XX team going all across the Eastern Bay of Plenty providing the community with an easy outlet to donate non-perishable food items, pet food, wrapped gifts, and toys to those in need throughout our region.
As with previous years, our naming sponsor Pacific Toyota are kindly lending the Radio 1XX team a brand new Toyota Hiace to collect all donated goods from around Eastern Bay of Plenty, along with providing the perfect place to divvy out all of the donations we receive for our unboxing day, on December 16th.
We're working with some fantastic charities this year, to spread cheer all across the Eastern Bay of Plenty, including:
- Have a Heart Eastern Bay of Plenty
- Salvation Army Eastern Bay of Plenty
- SPCA Eastern Bay of Plenty
- Koha Ki Kawerau
- Whakaatu Whanaunga Trust Ōpōtiki
- OSCA (Ōpōtiki Society for the Care of Animals)
Through these distributors, we're able to help as many families, individuals, and animals around the Eastern Bay, as possible, while keeping all donations firmly in our region.
This however, wouldn't be possible without our amazing Gold Sponsors and Community Partners.

- Property Brokers Whakatāne
