Spaces available to choose Christmas gifts for your children.

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

🎁💙 Do you need help with presents for the kids this year?

The Vinnies Welfare and Services Hub has transformed into a festive toy shop. Make a booking to pick and wrap gifts you would like for your children:

🎁 How can I access the shop?
We ask that people pre-book a ‘shopping slot’. Each slot allows 15 minutes to browse and choose the gifts. Bookings can be made by:
- call 04 389 7122
- email info@vinnieswgtn.org.nz
- drop into level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown

🎁 Access Criteria?
- be the parent or primary caregiver
- be able to show a Community Services Card or benefit breakdown
- picking for children aged 0 - 16 years

💙 The old saying goes ‘Christmas is the time for giving’. We're going a step further and make sure this ‘giving’ puts the dignity and mana of our community whānau first.
