Operating since 1901, The Compassion Soup Kitchen has a rich history in the Wellington community, and they strive to ensure that the mission of Suzanne Aubert, who founded the organisation, is kept alive through their work/mahi with people on the margins of society. Thank you for the work you do from the team at United Way NZ. If you can help with their 12 days of Soup Kitchen Christmas needs please contact The Compassion Soup Kitchen in Wellington

United Way NZ would like to thank the companies who helped us put together 240 boxes of presents, for children who would otherwise be going without this Christmas.

A special thanks to the staff of:

United Way NZ is working with Budgeting & Family Support Services, who operate in Mangere Otara & Tuakau, to distribute the presents to families experiencing hardship this Christmas.

The United Way New Zealand were very happy to receive a lovely Christmas card

from our Patron, The Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor-General of New Zealand

and Sir David Gascoigne.  It is very nice to be recognised for the social services we

do in and with communities throughout New Zealand 🙂🎄
