Make a kid’s Christmas
In neighbourhoods across New Zealand, kids are looking forward to a Christmas that may not happen.
Forced to choose between food or bills, hard-working parents like Melody worry whether they’ll be able to provide even the simplest Christmas meal for their children.
“I’ll only eat dinner 2-3 times a week so that the children have enough food. This is very stressful… a lot of crying and minimal sleep.”
Food insecurity is the everyday reality for 98.8% of the families Variety helps.
Please donate today to provide grocery support for families like Melody’s this Christmas.

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
