THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT

Supporting Families Facing Food Insecurity with Vinnies Tamaki Makaurau

Thank you for your ongoing support.

This year has been incredibly tough for many New Zealanders, with the rising cost of living and increasing job losses placing significant strain on families. At Vinnies, we see daily requests for help—ranging from those in need of baby products, to families seeking food or advocacy to reduce winter electricity bills. These stories are real, often heart-wrenching, and a reflection of the challenging times we live in.

As a faith-based charity dedicated to the care of people, we believe in the power of our communities to bring about real change. Together, we can help turn the tide and create a miracle for these families. The socio-economic landscape has made it especially hard for those already struggling with housing, low income, and the ever-increasing cost of living. While many are working tirelessly to find solutions—whether through affordable housing, food initiatives, or employment programmes—the need remains urgent.

Despite these challenges, we are not without hope. Our belief in the strength of community, compassion, and faith inspires us to keep pushing forward. Thank you for choosing to stand with us and believe in the power of your generosity to transform lives.

I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to our wonderful supporters for your past, present, and future donations. In 2023 alone, Vinnies supported over 22,000 households through our food hub, services, and programmes.

With your help, we can continue to be there for those who need it most.
