Donate to The Foodbank Project and help make Christmas wishes come true for struggling Kiwi families

Julia de Ruiter from The Salvation Army NZ

It's the final week to donate to the The Foodbank Project!

17,000 families will come to The Salvation Army for food and support over the Christmas period, but our donations this December will only fill 600 food parcels.

Every donation will make a real difference to families in need but we still have a long way to go. With only two weeks until Christmas, we need your help to fill more food parcels!

Donate a Christmas bundle today and help make Christmas wishes come true for struggling Kiwi families.
