Family Works Northern

A huge thank you to St Cuthbert's College for their generous donation of Easter eggs 🐣💛

Because of your kindness, our team at Communities Feeding Communities and other Presbyterian Support Northern services can bring a little extra joy to whānau who need it most this Easter.

Pictured here is one of our Family Works social workers collecting some of these treats to share with families in our community. Moments like these remind us just how powerful generosity can be.

Ngā mihi nui for making a difference!
