Xmas Presents Wanted
For many families Xmas time is a very stressful time.
Here at KCA we sponsor families whom are doing long term budgeting (with our partner agencies) by providing them with Xmas presents. We also sponsor the homeless and those who have experienced violence in the home.
The agencies that we assist with Xmas presents are:-
1) Newlands Foodbank (budgeting clients)
2) Porirua Womens Refuge
3) Birthright Wellington (budgeting clients)
4) Wellington Night Shelter
5) Supergrans Lower Hutt & Porirua (budgeting clients)
We are looking for companies to join us by popping up a Xmas Tree and asking staff members to donate festive treats of Xmas presents. The items must be brand new.
If the gifts are wrapped please ensure that you pop the gender and the age group that the gift is for.
If you are able to assist us please email us on admin@kca.org.nz
If you are an individual and want to assist us, please note that you are able to drop off your Xmas presents at Tawa Community Centre, Churton Park Community Centre, Johnsonville Community Centre, Newlands Community Centre and Island Bay Community Centre.
Our other drop off points are also available for you to leave Xmas treats and gifts at.
