Raising Families Together at the Salvation Army Newtown

30/04/2026

We look forward to seeing you next week at your local supermarket

Please support our appeal by donating online or with our local collectors

22/04/2026

We need volunteers to help collect at our three sites at
Island Bay New World, Newtown New World, and Newtown Woolworths

Every day, people walk through our doors needing help. It takes an army to be there when they do.

When you give to our Red Shield Appeal, you become part of that army of dedicated supporters, volunteers and staff standing together to restore hope in our communities.

Families are under immense pressure. The cost of living crisis is pushing many to the brink.

Your gift helps make vital wraparound support possible, from food support and transitional housing to financial mentoring and counselling.

It really does take an army. Every day.

Help a whānau in need this Christmas

When you check out, you can choose which foodbank your donation goes to - ideally us here at Wellington CM 😉

Just select Wellington and then Wellington again and your donation will come directly to our team to help support those in need. ❤️

Imagine telling your kids there’s no Christmas dinner this year.
That’s the reality for too many families right now.
But you can help change that.
Support our Christmas Appeal and help bring joy, dignity, and a proper meal to someone who needs it.
🎄 Every bit helps.
