May is the Month of Giving

Thanks to the amazing donations received for purchasing biscuits, GirlGuiding New Zealand has been able to donate 1,000 cartons of biscuits to 3 very well deserving organisations in Christchurch.

During the month of May, Guide biscuits were donated to the Salvation Army, Christchurch City Mission and Ellesmere Food Bank (who give to organisations like Women’s Refuge etc.)

Local Guides Genevieve and Claudia Holland came to National Office to help with the distribution to Ellesmere Food bank and a big thank you to mum Sonia who rolled her sleeves up and gave a hand loading the truck!

We know that these biscuits are going to good causes; by providing short-term assistance with food we are helping those in Christchurch who experience hardship gain a greater level of control over their lives.
