Waimarino Christmas Appeal 2024

$1,345 of $10,500 goal
Given by 14 generous donors in 9 weeks

Support the Waimarino Christmas Appeal by donating to help us bring joy to our neighbours in need this festive season.

Ohakune, Manawatu-Wanganui

This Christmas, many families in the Waimarino District are facing uncertainty and hardship, especially in the wake of the recent WPI mills closure. For some, the holiday season may be filled with stress rather than joy, as they struggle to provide even the basics for their loved ones. That’s where the Waimarino Christmas Appeal steps in.

For the past 10 years, our community has come together to spread hope and happiness during the festive season by donating gifts and non-perishable food items to help families in need. The packages we deliver through this appeal are often the only Christmas gifts many local families will receive.

But we can’t do it alone. This year, with more families affected by job losses and financial pressures, we need your support more than ever. Your donation—no matter how big or small—will go directly towards making Christmas brighter for these families. Whether it’s a small gift or a contribution towards some Christmas food treats, every little bit helps us bring the magic of the season to those who need it most.

Please join us in spreading Christmas cheer and ensuring no one in our community has to go without this holiday season. Together, we can make a difference.

Donate today to the Waimarino Christmas Appeal, and let’s give our neighbours a Christmas to remember.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
