Donate a Gift -
🎄A MERRY VINNIES CHRISTMAS🎄 was established through the Vinnies Wellington commitment towards providing a more dignified and equitable service, by honouring a person’s autonomy over what they receive from us.
The Vinnies Welfare & Service hub transforms into a festive toy shop over December. Unwrapped, donated gifts for children aged 0 – 16 years, are displayed for whānau to come and choose from.
🎁 DONATE A GIFT
Throughout the month of November and December, we will be collecting gifts for the Merry Vinnies Toy Shop.
To make sure we can meet the need from our community, we are calling on families, corporate teams, businesses, clubs and individuals to donate gifts.
🎁 GIFT CRITERIA:
- For ages 0 - 16 years
- Unwrapped
- New condition
Please drop off gifts to the Vinnies Newtown Hub or a Vinnies op shop by 27 November (we’ll still be accepting donations throughout December).
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
We're sad to announce the passing of Nicholas Boyack, our Hutt Valley reporter who has long written for The Dominion Post, The Hutt News and Upper Hutt Leader.
