Because of you, our Winter Care Drive is building real support for local whānau.

We had a wonderful afternoon at Bupa Ballarat today, who put in a fantastic effort collecting supplies for our foodbank. Your generosity, and theirs, helps ensure people in our community feel supported and cared for this winter.

If you’d like to be part of this, you can drop non-perishable items at one of our amazing collection partners, or make a donation here:

Thank you Whānau Āwhina Plunket North Canterbury for their amazing contribution to our Winter Care Drive this morning.

Toiletries, such as toothbrushes and toothpastes, are often well needed in our food parcels.

Thank you Andrea and the team for all the mahi you do in collaborating to support North Canterbury whānau.

Not all support happens at our Kaiapoi foodbank or Rangiora offices.

Every day, our social workers are out in the community, visiting whānau across the Hurunui and Waimakariri districts.

Sometimes they arrive with food and essential items.
Sometimes it is support, advocacy, or simply someone to talk to.
Often, it is all of these things.

This is what wrap-around care looks like in practice.
And it is only possible because of the support of our community.

When you donate to our Winter Care Drive, you are helping us respond in real and practical ways, wherever support is needed.

You can drop donations at:
• Momac, Rangiora
• The Sterling Kaiapoi, Silverstream
• Anytime Fitness Rangiora
• MainPower Stadium, Rangiora
• Rangiora Fitness Centre
• Bupa Ballarat Care Home and Retirement Village
• Rangiora Toyota
• Freedom Lifestyle Village Ravenswood, Woodend
• Community Wellbeing North Canterbury, Rangiora
• Ray White Morris & Co (Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Pegasus and Amberley)

Or donate online at https://www.wellbeingnc.org.nz/winter-care-drive/

Because of you, support reaches further. Thank you.

💙 Merrin, our Operations Manager, and Vanessa, our Print Production Manager, pictured outside our High Street print shop helping support the launch of the Winter Care Drive campaign 👏

At MoMac we believe strong communities are built when local people and businesses support each other 🤝

This winter, we’re proud to support Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust and their Winter Care Drive initiative. The work their team does across our region makes a real difference for local individuals and whānau facing tough times during the colder months 💙

Behind the scenes, there are countless hours of care, coordination, advocacy, and voluntary effort that go into supporting people with food, warmth, wellbeing support, and practical day-to-day needs. It’s important work, and we’re grateful to play a small part in helping bring this campaign to life through creative and design support.

A big thanks as well to for producing the campaign signage and continuing to support great local initiatives across North Canterbury.

We’re also proud to be a drop-off location for the Winter Care Drive at our Create Design Print Shop on High Street, Rangiora.

If you’re able to help this winter, every contribution makes a difference.

Thank you so so much to New World Kaiapoi and the whole community for your massive efforts in supporting our foodbank.

You're making life better for whānau in our local community.

THANK YOU KAIAPOI! 💛

Because of your incredible generosity, we are so proud to have donated 214 bags of much-needed necessities to the Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust

On top of the amazing food donations from our local community, we were also honoured to donate an additional $1,700, meaning almost $6,000 worth of support has gone directly to the foodbank to help local families and individuals in need.

In times where many are struggling, the kindness, compassion, and willingness our community shows to support one another never goes unnoticed.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us make a real difference for people right here in North Canterbury 🫶
