St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

🎁Children's gift donations needed!🎁
The Vinnies Christmas Toy Shop has been open for 6 days. 84 families have been through, choosing gifts for 216 children.
It has been been a busy two weeks, with every day fully booked.

We have another 8 days of operations left, and they are nearly all booked up with families looking for Christmas assistance.

❗We are running very low on gifts!❗ If you're in a position to do so, please consider donating a gift to the Merry Vinnies toy shop.
(gifts for teenagers are the most needed).

Donations can be dropped off directly at the Vinnies Welfare and Support Hub - level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
