Christmas appeal 2024

For John, Jess, Olly, and Charlotte, their lives have been impacted by their walk with The Salvation Army, which has provided them with vital support and assistance.

“The great thing about The Salvation Army is they’ve got awesome wraparound services. They just take you through and look after you,” said John.

For some people Christmas can be like gold, a day to look forward to with family and friends. But for other people like John, a recovering addict, Christmas was a day to be forgotten, when all the issues in his life seemed to be magnified.

But in our modern world Christmas can bring increased pressure on already struggling families. For families who can barely afford to survive, Christmas can be a tipping point when they require assistance to put food on the table and provide gifts for the children.

Across New Zealand, there are many more families like John’s who urgently need your support this Christmas. Little things can mean a lot to families.

Would you please consider partnering with us to help provide much-needed support to families this Christmas?

When you make a gift this Christmas you will be helping to bring the gold threads back into a family’s life. You will be supporting our mission of caring for people, transforming lives, and reforming society by God’s power.
