The charity makes meals for mums of new babies and people with serious illnesses (or their families).
"Last year we gave 700 meals to more than 100 families in Napier."
The money raised from this event will go towards setting up the Hastings branch, which closed a few years ago, if they find someone willing to coordinate it.
Hastings resident Elyse Hansen, who came to the event with her toddler and baby, said her three-year-old was having a fantastic time.
He had been on a truck ride, which he absolutely loved.
"It's a great place and we will definitely come again. It's a great day out."
Phyllis TeRuna, also from Hastings, took her five-year-old grandson to the event so he could also ride in a truck.
"I think it's somewhere different, an activity outside what's normally happening in the community.
"It's just a nice friendly atmosphere."
Penelope Northover came to the event from Napier with her two children, aged eight and 10, who had enjoyed a truck ride and were planning on spending the rest of their time playing on bouncy castles.
"It's the first time I've been, the kids have just jumped off the truck.
"They haven't been in a truck like that before and they absolutely loved it.
"I think it's just a fantastic family fun day...a great trip out."
Little Elms is a centre which provides accommodation for families of patients at the nearby Hawke's Bay Hospital so they may be close by to provide support, particularly if the patient is a child.
The event, which has been running for 22 years, had food, entertainment, prize-giving and stalls.
