Will you be holding a Christmas Day Lunch?

Yes we will be hosting a Christmas meal.

This year our Christmas Day meal is for people experiencing homelessness or who are vulnerably housed and don’t have any other way to celebrate the day. Unfortunately we don’t have room for additional families due to limited space.

If you would like support with food and gifts for tamariki this Christmas, please call us on 0800 223 663. If you reach the voicemail, leave a message with your contact details and our team will be in touch as soon as they are able.

Please note that we don’t allow double ups of people receiving the Christmas food and gift parcel as well as attending the Christmas lunch so that we are able to stretch our resources to support as many as possible.
