In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen.

Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.

“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.” 

Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.

Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

Hopefully the organisation that runs Neighbourly monitors their message boards as there doesn't appear to be any other way to contact them via their website.

I have noticed that over the past few days Neighbourly displays in a large (mobile version) display when veiwed on desktop using Firefox. The problem doesn't exist when viewed via Edge so I suspect Neighbourly have an incompatibility issue with the Firefox browser. Time for the IT boys to earn their keep!

The up sides are that I can view Neighbourly without needing my reading glasses, and all those pesky adverts down the sides have disappeared.
