BRING HOPE
TO A FAMILY THIS CHRISTMAS
Christmas Box is celebrating 25 years of connecting the generosity of everyday Kiwis with families who need it most. More than food, each donation strengthens our communities through our partnerships with local organisations.
But this year, the need is greater than ever. 1 in 4 children in Aotearoa are at risk of going without over Christmas. Your donation can change that, providing not just food, but also connecting families with support long term and giving them a hope and a reminder that someone cares.
Help us reach our goal:
Kiwi Families Need Our Support More Than Ever

What is Christmas Box?
Christmas Box is New Zealand’s largest Christmas giving initiative. Each box contains around 20 pantry essentials and festive treats, easing the pressure for families in need. In addition to what’s inside, each Christmas Box reflects the power of togetherness — donors, volunteers, and partners uniting to bring help and hope to families at Christmas.

"Every year, thousands of families in New Zealand can't afford to celebrate Christmas - some have even had to cancel Christmas - then a Christmas Box is delivered and Christmas is restored again."
