Better of Together - Get involved!

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

In response to World Day of the Poor, groups around the Wellington region are hosting events throughout the week of 12 – 18 November under the umbrella – Better off Together / He Waka Eke Noa.

Vinnies Wellington is hosting a Free Shop and Community Lunch on Saturday 17 November. We currently have booked the old Caltex space on Riddiford Street, with the vision to transform it into a vibrant outdoor shop and community (food court style) lunch.

The last Free Shop held in August 2018, saw 700 people attend. We targeted marketing to social housing, social services and community support groups to make sure we were able to support the most vulnerable in our community.

We aim to make this a community event. Encompassing the name ‘Better off Together’ we are calling on community groups, religious groups, businesses, organisations, families and individuals to prepare food and serve the lunch – and we hope you can be one of them.

Prepare Food: to be ready for Saturday 17 Nov, 11am
• Baking
• Salads
• BBQ’s will be available on the day to cook (meat, halal, vegetarian)
• Vegetarian dishes
• Soups
• Sandwiches

We invite you to bring your teams, your families, your friends, your congregations and let’s show our community that we’re better off together.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and any questions you may have.
