Compassion Trust wanted to give a huge thanks to The Mad Acre who provides vegetables for our community lunch each fortnight and also Eatl8r who gave us cooked potatoes for us to make loaded potatoes with cheese and bacon for our community lunch today.
Please support these businesses who have been giving to our service for many years now and eat around 70+ people each fortnight.

I'm trying to raise money for my small township of Mbabala in Zambia, to be able to build a solar powered Borehole drill. This will enable us to have access to a clean drinking water supply as my part of the country has been hit very hard by drought. If anyone could make a small donation to this fundraiser it would be greatly appreciated. The man who has set it up, he has been sending me every donation as soon as it's been made and I trust him www.gofundme.com/f/help-zambians-access-clean-drinking-water?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_mediu...

Covid-19 Response Recognition
We were pleased to receive this Covid-19 Response Recognition Award from the New Zealand Government last month. During 2020 and 2021 lock downs we partnered with Kairos Food Rescue to distribute food to those in need as an essential social service. You can see more about this in the videos on this page. In the last two years we have also had a contract with the Ministry of Social Development to deliver food parcels to families in the eastern suburbs, referred to us by Work and Income or other Social Services while isolating from Covid. Since 2022 we have delivered food to 310 families isolating from Covid. We are proud of the huge team effort that has gone into these projects.
Congratulations Heather and John
We were pleased to see Heather and John acknowledged at the Christchurch City Council Coastal Burwood Community Service Awards. They received an award for their commitment to our fortnightly community lunches which they have been running for the last 4 years. Over this last year their team has provided 1,640 healthy delicious cooked meals with dessert to people in our local community.
