Palmerston North Street Van needs a new van

Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui

Since we started back in 1994, our purpose has always remained the same, ¨To help people, whatever the need, wherever possible¨ and we have been doing that by serving hot food and drinks from our van to those in need every Saturday nights rain or shine. We have a dedicated team of volunteers every weekend manning our precious van and doing what we do best. We also have another van that is used to patrol the streets to give safe rides home for the vulnerable who have no transport or no means to get there. During the week, that van is used to deliver food to homes and the other is used by various organisations for transport.

Now it is our turn to ask for help!! ......

One of our precious vans has almost had it!!

For a whole month we had it off the road while it was getting fixed up. The battery is needing to be charged every week because the motor doesnt do enough to keep it ticking over. It also has gearbox issues.

We need a replacement high-top second hand van which is estimated to cost $30-40,000 and as a charity organisation, we just don´t have that kind of money to replace our precious van.

Any amount given will go a very long way, we are needing all the help we can get!!

Even if you have an old van sitting in your backyard not getting used, it will be highly appreciated and put to very good use.

About us

Palmerston North Street Van was started in 1994, with a purpose to serve the public within the Square at night by providing hot drinks and food to anyone who needs them. We have grown since then, and we provide a "take home" van for those who find themselves in need of a ride home. During the week, we provide transport for other organisations and deliver food to various organisations and families. To find out more information check out Pnsv.org.nz
