The annual packing of treats donated by members of the Mairangi Bay Presbyterian Church took place on 6 December.
Representatives from the three recipient groups within Presbyterian Support Northern: (Family Start; SHINE and Youth Workers in Secondary Schools) joined in. They each gave a summary of the work they do and how much these gift boxes are appreciated. They have the responsibility of making sure that these boxes get to the families and people who are in need of some cheer.

This year a new record of 82 boxes was achieved as well as 3 bins of donated products that wouldn’t fit in the boxes.

Photos show the hall at the start of the wrapping service as well as a close up of wrapping in progress. It was a joyous occasion.
