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.

Also thanks to the other respondants and also a great thanks to Neigbourly for this opportunity.
It is heartening (in these troublesome times) to know that we can rely on the good nature of many people if we are prepared to ask for it.
We do often hear of some poor behaviour from people on social media and news channels but there are very many more examples of people helping others so lets not forget it.
Merry Christmas to all who read this.
Cheers Ian
