This Christmas Partner with KCA to spread Christmas Joy
We’re reaching out to businesses and local residents as we're currently a bit low on both Christmas food donations and funding for our hampers this year.
One simple way that would make a huge impact is by setting up a Christmas Giving Tree in your office or business, where customers and your staff can pop in a non-perishable food item or an unwrapped gift.
We’d love to help make it as easy as possible for your customers to spread a bit of Christmas cheer to local families in need.
KCA for the past 11 years (this will be our 12th year) provides food to feed 260 people at Te Rauparaha Arena on Christmas Day. Last year we were the main sponsors of this event.
Many thanks.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
