A Merry Vinnies Christmas - Donate a Gift

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

A Merry Vinnies Christmas offers a shopping style experience to parents and families looking for assistance over the December period. This means giving people the dignity, ownership and choice over what they receive from us.

The Vinnies office will transform into a mini toy shop, where families can choose what presents they want for their children.

DONATE A GIFT: Throughout the month of November, we will be collecting gifts to full up our toy shop in time for December.

To make this possible we are calling on families, corporate teams, businesses, clubs and individuals to donate gifts.

GIFT CRITERIA:
> For ages 0 - 16 years
> Unwrapped
> New or near new condition

Please drop off donations to the Vinnies Newtown office: Level 1, 207 Riddiford Street, Newtown

🎅 The Vinnies Toy Shop will be open from Monday 3 December - more info to come. 🤶

For more information, contact marketing@vinnieswgtn.org.nz or PM the page.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
