The Bald Butchers CHristmas Charity Boxes

$565 donated
Given by 16 generous donors in 4 weeks

Local meat packs from the Bald Butcher delivered to Hurunui food banks and Hope Rangiora, helping families eat well through Christmas week.

Canterbury

More families across the Hurunui and North Canterbury are struggling to afford the basics, especially meat, and Christmas week can feel incredibly heavy for parents trying to put proper food on the table. The Bald Butchers Christmas Charity Boxes are our way of stepping in with something real. We’ll prepare meat packs made in our butchery using local Hurunui beef, lamb, pork and chicken, and deliver them to food banks across the district and to Hope Community Trust in Rangiora. Every donation helps us buy animals, make sausages, patties, marinades, mince and cuts, and cover packaging, staff time and delivery, all supplied at cost.

We’re calling on corporates wanting meaningful staff giving, individuals wanting to help with gratitude, and anyone looking to gift something that truly matters this Christmas. We’re also sending out three large Christmas boxes anywhere in New Zealand, filled with veggies, quality meat and a PJs pie, gifted to families the public nominate through our social media. The more money raised, the more boxes we can send nationwide. Follow along to nominate a family and see the impact unfold. Together we can bring dignity, relief and proper food to households that need it most.

Use of funds

Money will go toward purchasing beef, sheep, pork and chicken, plus the butchery ingredients, packaging, staff time and delivery, all supplied at cost rather than retail.

A big thank you form Hope Community Trust  19 December 2025

We delivered 200 meat parcels to Hope Community Trust this week to kick off the Bald Butchers Christmas Giving.

Tracey the Manager sent me this - "Hi, sorry that it is so late but I didn't want the day to end without letting you know how grateful and truly appreciative the people we gave the meat packs to today. Sometimes it's not the words said, but the tone that it is said in that tells you the truth about their thankfulness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a difference in the lives of others today. Please pass our thanks on to the staff and owners of Hurunui Farms and those who contributed to Give a Little. Tracy Hope Community Trust."

So a big thnak you to everyone. We head into the Food Banks in the Hurunui next week.
