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.

Hi All,

My in laws have a little community library set up on Belt Road that they have been doing for a few years . It is greatly appreciated by all in the local community that use it often. However last night someone decided to take most of the books from the library for whatever reason which is very sad . Not sure if they were taken to onsell for a few $ each or if it’s kids and the books have been mindlessly dumped somewhere. If you are looking to reduce your fiction book collection and they are in good condition please feel free to leave them in the library for others to enjoy and swap.
