Spreading a little Christmas Cheer - much needed food.

Canterbury, Christchurch City

This year with the cost of living crisis we are seeing demand for welfare at a level never seen before, in fact we will pass all previous levels.

Our Christmas wish is that everyone receives some form of Christmas Cheer - whether is be one toy or simply an ice cream.

We run a Christmas Toy Grotto, and hampers for Christmas. Demand is high, our food stock is depleted. Our food bill has gone from around $3000 a month to around $9000 a month plus donated food items. Any donation now will go towards the cost of food for hampers - our normal Christmas voucher project is around $20000. In this environment grants and donation are light - hence why I am undertaking this give-a-little page. This funding will also with demand post Christmas with food. All donations will be greatly appreciated.
