Could you help us buy a new freezer for the DCM foodbank?

This year we're going to be offering some tangible ways you can support us by directly sponsoring some of the things we and the people we work with need :)

Our trusty freezer has done us proud over the years but it has had its time so we’ve set up a givealittle page to raise funds for a new one.

If you could help us in this way please donate here. Any contributions, big or small, would be greatly appreciated.

DCM's involvement (page creator)

Each week DCM works with some 150 people, supporting them to make dramatic changes in their lives. Most of these meet the New Zealand definition of homelessness or are at risk of homelessness; we work with them to find housing, access their correct benefit entitlements, manage their money, and connect with family and a range of health and other services.

About us

DCM’s vision is for communities where whānau are housed, connected, valued, and thriving. We believe that those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless as a result of economic and social changes have the right to have their worth and dignity upheld. We provide mana-enhancing support services to empower them to reach their housing and social aspirations.

DCM’s byline is “Together we can end homelessness”: we believe that it takes a collective and concentrated effort to support marginalised people into housing. We do this by embracing a Housing First approach, moving people from homelessness into housing then providing wraparound support and regular home visits to ensure they sustain their tenancy and thrive in all aspects of their lives.

DCM is with them every step of the way, and you can be too!
