Nourish Trust | Christmas Hampers

Bringing Christmas sparkle to Wellington families since 2014

Nourish Trust | Christmas Hampers for Wellington Families

At Nourish Trust, we believe all children & their whānau should have the food & care they need to live, grow & be healthy

Since 2014, we’ve been delivering nourishing food hampers to families doing it tough across the greater Wellington region. 

What started out as idea to spread some sparkle and ease some pressure for 21 families has grown into a community-driven initiative helping thousands of local families each year.

Bridging the gap between hope & hardship

Nourish Trust began as a heartfelt response to a simple, yet profound need in the community.

In 2014, co-founder Claire was volunteering at a local school and saw families doing it tough. Determined to bring a little sparkle at what can be a challenging time of year for many, she fundraised enough money to deliver 21 Christmas hampers filled with nourishing food to families in the Hutt Valley.

What started as an idea with a group of friends, and a small act of kindness, quickly grew into something much bigger…

Your support matters

This year, the need is greater than ever

With the rising cost of living, more families are doing it tough. Our goal for 2024 is to raise $304,500 to provide 2,030 hampers, but we need your help to make it happen.

"This will help most, if not all, of our families to have a better Christmas. Your kindness goes a long way!"
