Each year, The Christmas Joy Store provides over 10,000 children and their families with presents, treats and food to enjoy on Christmas Day.
We also host Christmas events and deliver toys and treats to over 8,000 children in need in 62 regions, cities and towns across New Zealand too. Check out how you can help below.
Help fill the fridge and provide food for Christmas for a family in need.
Thanks to the support from our partners and business community, for a $50 donation we can support a family with $250 worth of food.
Each food box will include pantry staples, food for Christmas Day including protein and produce, and treats for the whole family.
Get your workplace, school, club or team together and host a Giving Tree at Christmas to support families in need.
As well as the Christmas Joy Store, we deliver Christmas to children in need all over the country, with presents collected in each region staying local for local kids.

Thanks to Mitre 10, we're able to collect and deliver toys across New Zealand through their toy collection bins. Toys donated at each store, remain in that community for local kids in need.
Mitre 10 Christmas collection bins open Friday 8th November and run till Saturday 14th December 2024.
We invite parents and caregivers supported by our 162 Community Partners to attend the Christmas Joy Store each year.
We also have a very limited number of spaces available for those in the community too. If you know a family struggling to make ends meet you can nominate them to visit the Christmas Joy Store from 1st November 2024.
