Christmas Care Packages 2025

Donate to our Christmas Care Packages

12 November 2025

It’s that time of year again – the season of giving and sharing. At Age Concern Auckland we’re now planning for our annual Christmas Care Package campaign, and we need your help to spread some joy and support to older members of our community this holiday season.

Every year, we gather together non-perishable foods, toiletries, little treats and more, wrap them up with care, and hand-deliver around 60 special packages to vulnerable older adults who may otherwise feel isolated or overlooked. Your donation makes a real difference.

Where and when to drop off

Please deliver goods by Monday 1st December

57 Rosebank Road, Avondale
Auckland 1026
Office hours: 9am to 4pm Monday - Friday

What to donate

Non-perishable foods (e.g. single-serve ready meals, crackers, jam, chutney, cans of fruit, tea & coffee)
Toiletries (e.g. soaps, hand cream, body wash)
Small festive treats (e.g. chocolate, muesli bars, biscuits, xmas mince pies)

Why your help matters

The care packages we assemble are more than just boxes of goods – they offer the gift of connection and community. For someone living alone or on a limited income, a small gesture can make their Christmas truly brighter.

Other ways you can help

If you’re not able to donate goods, you could also help by:

🎁 Giving a monetary donation so we can purchase extra items or deliver packages. (Donate here or visit our offices)
🥳 Printing off our poster/flyer for your office, or club or community group. (Download printable poster/flyer here)
📢 Sharing this appeal with friends, colleagues or your social networks. (Facebook links coming soon!)

Thank you for being part of this important effort. Together, we can make the season warmer for older people in our community.
