WelCom December 2024/January 2025
As we approach Christmas, the need for support in our community is greater than ever. The Sisters of Compassion Christmas Appeal has been launched to help meet the increasing demand for the Compassion Group’s essential services.
In these challenging times, with many people facing unemployment, businesses closing, costs rising, and homelessness increasing, the Group’s resources are being pushed to the limits. The Compassion Soup Kitchen is serving an additional 1,500 meals every month, while the demand for Compassion Housing remains high.
Through their work in both areas, the Compassion Whānau remain committed to assisting those who are struggling with uncertainty, loneliness, poverty, and, at times, violence.
Thanks to the generosity of donors and partner organisations throughout the year, the Compassion Group have been able to continue providing warm and nourishing meals, as well as accommodation and shelter, carrying on the mission that founder Meri Hōhepa Suzanne Aubert began so many years ago.
This Christmas, making a meaningful impact depends on all of us. Your kindness and generosity can help ensure that each individual experiences the dignity and support they deserve.
Everyone is encouraged to support the Compassion Christmas Appeal. Together, we can make a difference.
