Sending Love To Those Who Are Alone At Christmas.
Christmas embodies a real and inclusive generosity that no other time of the year can match. Yes, there is stress, but there is also kindness – to those alone and in need.
If you'd like to help spread some Christmas cheer and put a smile on someone's face, MECOSS welcomes contributions of hand-made or shop-bought Christmas cards crafted with hand written messages, for distribution to elderly people confined at home or an age-care facility this festive season.
A collection box has been placed in the foyer of the All Saints’ Community Centre, 30 Cook Street, Howick. Christmas cards can dropped in the box, Monday to Friday between 8:00am and 4:00pm until 13 December.
Tips: Have fun being creative, fill your message with love, make sure your writing is legible, and please keep the envelope unsealed.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
