In the lead-up to Christmas each year, various food support initiatives are held throughout Tāmaki Makaurau with the aim of addressing Christmas hardship. In Te Uru o Tāmaki Makaurau (West Auckland) Visionwest Community Trust runs Christmas From The Heart. 2023 was our event’s fifth year.

This report provides an overview of Christmas From The Heart 2023 and contains high-level data about the whānau receiving Christmas support. It also reveals some of the reasons this support remains an ongoing necessity within our local communities.

Also included are reflections relating to the current level of hardship faced by many in Aotearoa New Zealand today and what needs to change in order for food availability to improve so that events like Christmas From The Heart are no longer necessary.
