This month we want to challenge Neighbourhood Supporters to come together and give generously from the heart this holiday season. With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about others, especially those having a difficult time.

Whether it’s an elderly neighbour who lives alone to a family on your street working hard to make ends meet, reach out to someone who could use a little extra joy in their life and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!

Other ideas include fundraising for a local charity, doing a food or toy drive, organising a ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange on your street, giving a present to a neighbour who helped to make your 2020 better, or even host a community Christmas lunch.

Let us know how you’re giving back in your community in December by emailing: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

A call to our community!
This year's WEAVE Cultural Market will be on the 11th of December in Garden Place from 4pm till 8pm. The New Zealand Red Cross hosts this as an opportunity for our former refugee and migrant communities to host a food or craft stall, showcasing the talent and diversity that they bring to Hamilton communities. This year we have found ourselves short on a few items and hope that you can support us to spread the word, with the hope of securing these.

We are currently wanting to kindly borrow:
- Gazebos for our stalls.
- Yard games.

Please help us to share the word!

If you are able to help, please feel free to call us on 07 849 0285 or email: waikato@redcross.org.nz.
