We are delighted to share the incredible achievements of Foster Hope Otago/Southland this year! Thanks to the unwavering support and generosity of our amazing community, we were able to distribute a total of 1,863 backpacks to 19 different agencies. It is truly an achievement that warms our hearts and fills us with gratitude.

Our Christmas drive started slowly but soon gained momentum, and we are thrilled to announce that we were able to fulfil all donation requests this year. Over 1,000 bags of gifts were sent out just in time for Christmas, spreading joy and love to those in need.

The new space at Mill Park has been a game-changer for us. It has allowed us to engage more volunteers and connect with some truly awesome individuals. We are humbled by the compassion and dedication demonstrated by our volunteers, and it is through their efforts that we can make a difference in the lives of children and families in our community.

We want to express our deepest appreciation to each and every one of you for your support and contributions. Without you, none of this would be possible. Together, we are fostering hope and creating positive change.

Wishing you all a joyful and prosperous year ahead!

Warmest regards,

The Foster Hope Otago/Southland team
