The following video has been recently released to coincide with the launch of this year’s Salvation Army Winter Appeal.
When New Zealand needs us this winter… We need you!
There is a new face of need. We may now be out of lockdown, but many Kiwis are not out of crisis. We are expecting the impact to be across the board, affecting housing, child poverty, food insecurity and addictions.
From previous experience, we know that need often presents as an immediate requirement for a food parcel. But this is the start of a longer journey, of addressing bigger and often complex underlying need or factors. It is the beginning; and just supplying a food parcel is not the whole solution.
We wrap an array of services around our clients, including:
- Financial mentoring to assist with budgeting and paying off debt.
- The Positive Lifestyle Programme to help strengthen their emotional and mental wellbeing and set personal goals.
- Counselling.
- Temporary housing to help people in crisis.
- Social housing with long-term, affordable rents.
- Social workers specialising in many areas, from youth work to family violence.
- World-leading drug and alcohol services.
- Problem gambling services.
- Assistance with navigating Governmental agencies and other NGO’s.

If you are in the Inner City of Wellington and are in need of some food or other practical assistance please give our office a call (04) 801 9278, leave your name and number and we will contact you.
