Welfare

Our Community Ministries centres around New Zealand provide individuals and families with food parcels, budgeting advice, life skills and parenting courses, social work, youth development, and transitional housing.

Our aim is to give you a helping hand so you are not dependent on government assistance and can gain a greater level of control over your life.
