Update 6 December 2023: Thank you to everyone who gave to Good Gifts 2023. Each initiative has now been given their Good Gift and passed it onto the community they serve. We are so grateful for your generosity enabling this.
This Christmas, help us bless the community through Good Gifts
Every Christmas, we reimagine Good Gifts to practice generosity by looking outward that we could serve and bless our community in a meaningful way.
For 2023, we want to support three initiatives that are bubbling away in the Central Vineyard community, by passing on Good Gifts to the people they are serving. These are:
Neurodiverse Families
This year the Muller’s started a support group for fellow families with neurodiverse children; a space to care for each other, share helpful resources, and build connection. Approaching Christmas the Muller’s want to be generous to this community with care packs for the parents and some fun things for the kids.
You can bless this emerging community by donating towards these gift packs.
Sad Mums Club
Sad Mums Club is not the club you wanted to join, but the one you need. 1 in 10 women are struggling with post-natal depression, not only affecting their own well-being but their children, their partners and the community at large. Started by SJ Treharne, Sad Mums Club aims to raise awareness and provide totally cute resources on post-natal depression in Auckland.
Post-natal packs have been designed to bless new mothers in their time of need, providing helpful information on the treatment options and empowering artwork. Check them out at here
You can bless Sad Mums Club by donating towards getting post-natal packs printed.
Gratis
Established in 2016, Gratis is Central Vineyard’s weekly community meal to feed the hungry in Auckland CBD. Every year Gratis does something extra special at Christmas to make sure this community feels seen and loved at this festive time. This year we’re cooking up a Christmas feast and pulling together Aroha Packs that have some practical helpful items and some treats.
You can bless the Gratis whānau by donating towards Christmas Aroha Packs.
