Support a Family
The Support a Family Christmas appeal brings joy to hundreds of families in need every year by matching donors to families to provide them with a personalised hamper.
The Christchurch Methodist Mission (CMM) is one of the largest social service agencies in the Upper South Island. Christmas can be a challenging time with mounting financial pressures for the whānau that we support. For over 16 years, our Support a Family appeal has ensured that these families do not miss out on Christmas by providing them with a hamper that includes food and presents for the children.
Support a Family 2025 is now fully subscribed – thanks to all the donors who have registered to take part in this year’s appeal! If you missed out on registering as a donor but would still like to support the appeal, you can make an online donation at the link below.
CMM supports people across the age spectrum with a wide range of services, from the youngest tamariki at Aratupu Preschool & Whānau Hub through to older people at WesleyCare Rest Home & Hospital. CMM is also one of the largest social housing providers in Christchurch.
We gratefully acknowledge The MediaWorks Foundation as a valued Support a Family partner. Their backing boosts our ability to empower households with the resources, dignity, and hope they deserve. We are proud to have The MediaWorks Foundation stand alongside us in supporting families in need.
