Given by 13 generous donors in 4 weeks

Sharing Christmas Cheer and Love to vulnerable and lonely older people.

Auckland

Help us spread some love this Christmas. Its a difficult time for someone alone. Our elders shouldn't be forgotten. Show you care too.

Life in lockdown is hard – especially for older people who are vulnerable, disabled and living alone.

Imagine not having anyone to share with at Christmas. These older people have not been able to meet up with their friends for 4 months. Can you help us to bring them some Christmas cheer and share some love with them? Every little bit helps.

Communicare is preparing 500 special “Christmas Bags of Love” that contain traditional festive treats, small gifts, some puzzles to relieve the boredom, to show our members that someone cares.

We need your help to raise the funds needed to fill and distribute "Christmas Bags of Love" to vulnerable elders, across West, East, Central and South Auckland.

About us

Communicare fosters community by supporting seniors, lonely, and disabled individuals through recreation, advocacy, and friendship groups. Join us in creating inclusive environments where everyone thrives. Help us celebrate our 65 years of service.

Use of funds

Filling "Bags of Love" with Festive goodies and small gifts along with puzzles to entertain the recipients. Travel expenses for staff and volunteers who are distributing the "Bags of Love"
