Christmas 2022 Appeal

2022 has been tough for many people and we would like to help lighten the load.

As Christmas approaches, we are keen to let you know about our theme for this year’s gift appeal – relationship. We wanted to honour the model of service Frederick Ozanam gave us based on relationships so to bring this about, we thought of offering the opportunity to celebrate Christmas by building relationships through shared experience. If you are looking at supporting our Christmas appeal, we would love you to donate an activity! This way families get to spend time together doing something fun!

Some great ideas are:
– Movie vouchers
– Salt water pool vouchers
– Chinese Garden vouchers
– Laserforce vouchers
– Resistance Climbing vouchers
– Hydro Slide vouchers
– Clip and climb vouchers
– Taieri Gorge Train Vouchers

If you are keen to support us in other ways your generosity is always appreciated. Feel free to drop the vouchers or gifts off to our George St shop, or make a donation to St Vincent de Paul 03-0883-0186960-000 with the reference ‘gift’ and we will make sure it is included in a Christmas Parcel.
