A big thank you to the Food Design students from Otago Polytechnic, who have cooked and packed meals for our freezer. The containers can be heated whenever someone calls in needing a meal. We're grateful to the students and their tutors for thinking of us.

A big thank you to Lyndon and Jamie from Otago - Fire and Emergency, who dropped in this week with a generous load of lunch supplies and cleaning products for the shelter.
We're grateful for their support, and for everyone else who has stopped by with food and household goods lately. These donations make a real difference to the day-to-day running of the shelter and the people who stay with us.

A big thank you to one of our wonderful supporters who dropped off a basket of goodies this week.
These snacks will go into lunches for our guests, and the coffee, biscuits and sugar are always appreciated as they're the everyday items we get through quickly.
We're grateful for the community support that keeps our shelter running. Ka pai.

We're putting out a call for donations of new clothing, and right now we have a real need for:
Hoodies
T-shirts
Track pants
All sizes welcome, but we're particularly short on men's track pants in size 32 or medium, so if you spot some on sale, please think of us!

Items must be new or in near new condition please.

📍 Drop off in person at the Dunedin Night Shelter on weekdays, come to the front door and our team will be happy to receive your donation.
💳 Prefer to give funds? We'll use your donation to buy exactly what's needed.

Meet Jane Black, she's lacing up her boots and walking the length of Te Waipounamu on Te Araroa Trail, from Bluff all the way to Ship Cove in the Marlborough Sounds, that's 1,300 kms!

Jane chose to use her journey to shine a light on the work we do, so a huge thank you goes to her!

If you'd like to cheer her on, you can donate to her Give-a-Little page here:

Lee from New Zealand Kettle Korn dropped off a generous donation including ham, fruit juice and delicious KettleKorn popcorn to help with meals over the Christmas period.

Glennys and Jenny from Altrusa International of Taieri also popped in with Christmas goodies, blankets and toiletries for our guests.

We're so grateful for the kindness and generosity of local businesses and community groups who think of those doing it tough over the holiday season. Thank you! ❤️
