Visionwest Building Hope Newsletter

– Winter 2025

In this issue we explore the vital role kai support plays in helping individuals and whānau through challenging times.

Read Albert’s story of how food assistance helped ease the pressure of living on a pension, and discover how Terangiataahua’s journey with Visionwest began with kai support and grew into access to a range of wraparound services.

We also introduce Bread, a dedicated Visionwest volunteer who is making a meaningful contribution while gaining valuable work experience. And we thank our generous supporters whose donations to our Rough Sleepers Campaign help make our work possible.

Plus, see the impact of your support through some remarkable community outcomes, including 13,585 food parcels provided, 1,348 social supermarket shoppers supported, and more than $1,970,140 worth of emergency food assistance distributed.
