The cost of living crisis isn't new news - the struggle is real & the need in our community has increased. What hasn't increased is our budget - donations are dwindling! The Society of St Vincent de Paul Henderson is in need of funds to replenish food parcel supplies. Stop by our sausage sizzle fundraiser or Give a little here. Help us help those in need.
This year with inflation at a 30-year high, it's going to be tougher than ever for some familes. Luckily, there's always enough Christmas cheer to go around & with your help, we can help spread it where it's needed the most. Donate in cash or kind to our Christmas hamper drive & help us help those in need. Every dollar makes a difference!
150 Christmas food parcels & innumerable smiles later, the Vincent de Paul Society in Henderson is ready to help those in need yet again! For it is in giving that we recieve.
If you know of anyone in need that could benefit from a food parcel - Nov 14th is the day.
We will be in the car park across Holy Cross Church in Henderson, Auckland (the corner of Lavelle & View Roads) from 12pm to 1pm on Nov 14th. Contact tracing registration onsite.
A big thanks to all you generous donors who make it easier for us to serve the community!
Over 100 parcels packed with food & much aroha, now on their way & about to add a little Christmas cheer to homes that need it in Henderson.
This Christmas when you sit down to have a meal, know that you've helped make that possible for one of your less fortunate brothers & sisters. And you'll hear that voice say, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Thank you again for your support. May the season fill your home with peace & the year ahead bring you & yours many blessings.
If you're in New Lynn, on Dec 5th, hop down to the St Vincent de Paul Sausage Sizzle stall at Bunnings Warehouse. Don't forget to bring your Christmas spirit :) "Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love." - Hamilton Wright Mabie
A massive thank you from our hearts to all of you, who thought about us, sent us much aroha & blessings and visited our Sausage Sizzle Stall today. We raised a whopping $1,145.70 which will go towards the cost of Christmas food parcels for those in need in our community. We truly couldn't have done it without your support!
First of all, thanks again for your ongoing support & prayers. As we inch closer to Christmas & our team continues to raise funds for Food Parcels, here's another way YOU can get involved - If you're in New Lynn, on Oct 31st, hop down to the St Vincent de Paul Sausage Sizzle stall at Bunnings Warehouse. We'd love to see your sunshine smiles : )
