How we use your donations
Your donations are crucial for our work in supporting those in need. We truly value your support.
Although we have Catholic roots we help everyone equally regardless of background. Our services include provision of free food, furniture, bedding and other essentials. We also use funds for emergency food, school support, and urgent requests. We have an area wide network of helpers who offer daily practical help to people in tough situations. Your contributions enable us to respond quickly and effectively. Thank you for making a difference!
The Society of St Vincent de Paul has provided service in New Zealand for almost 160 years, doing works focused on charity and justice. Thank you for helping us to keep doing this!
"Poverty is not a lack of character. It is a lack of money. A lack of opportunity. A lack of investment. It is when society turns its back and makes you invisible."
