How Would You Like to Make a Difference?

 

Every day, people across North Canterbury help create a stronger, more connected and equitable community.
Some give financially. Others volunteer their time, share their skills, organise fundraisers, support through their workplace, or leave a gift for future generations.
However you choose to help, your support creates lasting impact close to home.

 

Give Close to Home

When you give to Community Wellbeing North Canterbury, you’re helping local people access support, connection, and opportunities to thrive.

Every donation stays in North Canterbury and helps strengthen the wellbeing of local whānau, tamariki and communities.

Payroll Giving is an efficient and effective way to get involved. It’s an easy way to donate as your donation and tax credit is processed automatically by your payroll team. You don’t need to wait until the end of the year to receive your credit of 33% and you don’t need to handle all the paperwork. This means a $5 donation each week only costs you $3.34.

Make a Donation

Our Kaiapoi Foodbank receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of our community to continue supporting local whānau through challenging times.

Donations of non-perishable food, cleaning products, washing powder, personal care items, sanitary products, and other everyday essentials help ensure local families, neighbours, and workmates have access to the support they need when times are tough.

Every donation makes a difference.

Donate food or essential items

Give your time

Our dedicated volunteers are the backbone of our community efforts, contributing countless hours to support local initiatives.

From assisting at the Foodbank to facilitating Restorative Justice to leading on our board through to participating in events and offering specialised skills, every volunteer plays a crucial role in making a difference. 

Every year, volunteers contribute more than 6,500 hours supporting local people and communities.

No matter your age, experience or availability, we’d love to hear from you.
