Halswell Community Hub Xmas Donations
Every year for the past 7 years we have collaborated with several agencies around Halswell and Christchurch. From Odyssey House, the Hoon Hay Food Bank, Open Home Foundation, City Mission Outreach and Project Esther, to local families in need. The aim is to bring a little relief and hopefully a little joy at Christmas. It can be a stressful and expensive time of year for many. While we realise October seems a little early to start thinking about Christmas, we need time to receive donations, sort them and pass them on to the recipients before each organisation pauses over the Christmas period. We do ask that all items are new only please.
Drop off to: the Halswell Community Hub, 381 Halswell Road from October through to mid December.
This year we are partnering with:
Ngā Maihi - Steppingstones Trust/Odyssey House/Purapua Whetu
Open Home Foundation
Local families
