For many in our community, Christmas is a time of both joy and struggle, given the increased financial demands and economic adversity that we all feel. The holidays and beyond can be incredibly challenging.

With Christmas approaching, Presbyterian Support Otago (PSO) has shared these different ways you can contribute to their efforts.

 

Financial Gift: Your support will play a crucial role in ensuring a brighter future for families and individuals in need. Donations will be used to provide food for Christmas and/or community support programmes for families, rangatahi and tamariki well into the new year. You can choose what to donate towards.

Please donate towards PSO programmes at psotago.org.nz/donate

Vouchers: Donating vouchers for supermarkets and department stores (eg The Warehouse) will be extremely useful for families so they are able to make a choice on items they most need. Vouchers for experiences will enable us to provide families with the means to take part in a family activity during the holiday season.

These can be dropped into the Family Works office at 407 Moray Place, Dunedin, Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5pm. Note: there is a 5-minute park right outside.

Food Supplies: Donations of canned goods, dry food products, and Christmas treats will help create holiday food baskets for families. These can be dropped into the foodbank at 407 Moray Place, Dunedin, Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5pm. Note: there is a 5-minute park right outside.

Movies for Teens: Teens are often the ones who miss out when finances are challenging. To purchase a ticket for a teen please donate using the link below - every $10 donation will provide movie ticket! Donate at psotago.org.nz/moviesforteens/
