As we approach Christmas, the need for support in our community is greater than ever. We have just launched our Christmas Appeal to help meet the increasing demand for our essential services.

In these challenging times, many people are facing unemployment, businesses are closing, costs are rising, and homelessness is increasing, all of which are pushing our resources to the limits. Currently, at the Compassion Soup Kitchen, we are serving an additional 1,500 meals each month, while the demand for Compassion Housing remains high.

Through our work in both areas, we as the Compassion Whānau, remain committed to assisting those who are struggling with uncertainty, loneliness, poverty, and, at times, violence.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and partner organisations throughout the year, we have been able to continue providing warm and nourishing meals, as well as accommodation and shelter, carrying on the mission that our founder, Meri Hōhepa Suzanne Aubert, began years ago.

This Christmas, making a meaningful impact depends on all of us. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that every individual experiences the dignity and support they deserve.

We encourage everyone to support our Christmas Appeal. Together, we can make a difference.

Recently retired, Lorraine was driving into Wellington when she noticed a bus displaying a large Compassion Soup Kitchen advert. “This must be meant to be,” she thought, and decided to call and see how she could help. Read about Lorraine’s volunteering journey
